Hello Everyone!
Dad has now been in his care home five weeks and he seems to be well settled however next Saturday is my birthday and my youngest brother and I having been discussing how to celebrate. I have thought about spending the evening with my friends but the daytime with my family. I am thinking about us going out to lunch at a local Indian restaurant on Sunday because they have a buffet and then afterwards I could open some presents at my brothers flat or the care home. I don't think it would be a good idea bringing him back to this house because it was where I cared for him and this is his house and he may not want to leave. What I would like to know is what is experience has everyone else had when they took their loved one out of the care home for the first time? If I am concerned I could do something with dad in the home and I am planning to visit him on Saturday anyhow.
