As my mum is on a list for a NH, I am now worrying about how I am going to actually get her to go there. Has anyone any suggestions? There is no way she will agree to go because as far as she is concerned, there is nothing wrong with her and any hint of a discussion about it sends her into a strop! As it is she cannot do anything for herself, even down to getting a drink of water. I do everything for her with a bit of help from her elderly neighbour and a carer who comes in at night to lock the back door. I have been told by the SW that I should tell mum what is happening - yeah right -, mental health nurse said to take her, pretending to visit and then just go (maybe) or my latest thought is to tell mum that her flat needs a lot of work (there is actually a big crack on one of the outside walls although it is nothing serious) and that it is too dangerous for her to stay there so she will be staying at NH for a couple of days until it is fixed (not sure if she will buy this!) Has anyone got other ideas. I am sure this is a major problem whenever a relative goes into a NH.
Thanks.
