Hi, Need to talk about my Mom,
Mom has vascular dementia & last Oct my Dad at 81 realized he could nolonger cope, even with carers comming in. We found a residental care home with dementia places, lovely, Dad struggled everyday with guilt & so did I. Mom's aggression triggers on washing & changing clothes, also she does like a smoke & at 80, well what else has she got to enjoy. I love my parents deeply, eventhough Mom nolonger knows me, this in itself breaks my heart as I have noother siblings. I have to be strong for Dad but somedays we cry together. Now the care home states 'they can nolonger fulfill my Moms needs & wish to 'serve notice' for her to move. When I do find another care home (be it nursing)because of her agitation, and aggression who will want to take her & give her the care she needs & the understanding for her condition. It dosn't matter what medication they may try my Mom has a disease.
I feel so helpless::
