Hi everyone, have just spent 20 mins reading all the messages, they all help a little bit! My question is, how do you know when the time has come for permanent care? My Dad has vascular dementia and is cared for by my step-mum who is partially sighted and has recently been ill. She is doing her best, but Dad is going downhill faster and faster and my stepsister and I are worried that the stress will make her ill again. The thought of Dad going into a home is awful as he hates the very idea of it, and calls them " loony bins full of imbeciles!"
My stepmumdreads making this decision, as he blames her for everything that is "done to him" i.e day care. Do any of the health
care professionals have role in saying enough is enough, or is this something the family have to decide?
Must go now , best wishes to all
