hi TP,
havnt posted for a while but have the need to ask for some opinions...
mil has deteriorated and there has been regular discussion about the future. the prospect of mil going into care is all too real and has been accepted by my hubby/bil and myself. however, the point at which this happens is under constant debate. she is leaving her outer doors unlocked but shut most of the time; this is to her garden. she is totally unaware about time of day etc and is begining to concern us with 'wandering'. she is also vulnerable to other opertunistic visitors/cold callers etc. a career is now in every day-albeit for a minimal time.
i would be interested to hear at what point you would consider the risk to be significant to look at moving to a care home. i personally feel that she would be safer but am aware that she soes not want to move into care.
thanks
