I just need some honest feed back to hear what other people on this forum have experienced.
Is it better to put your loved one straight into a care home permanently or to "trial" a 2 week respite to see how they get on?
Only asking because we are facing this tough decision and we seem to differ from what my husband's family think.
We feel as she has lived with us, that she will not want to go back in again after coming out as she is in complete denial about having Alzeimers. We know she will struggle to settle in.
But my SIL thinks a suck and see it approach is best? And apparently the care home is saying a respite test is best.....
What happens if she doesn't want to go back again? We are at our wits end at the moment.
Anyone with any sound advice?
