At the end of my tether so have been to look at several homes for a restbite period, do I show mum before she goes in or just tell her a few days before. She is going to go mad which ever, any advice.
Depends on the person. I took my husband with me when I was looking at care homes but he doesn’t think things through so wasn’t fully aware what it was all about. When he is in respite I put an A4 notice taped to his wardrobe with the date I will be back to get him and he seems OK with that.

Hi
My sister and I are starting to look at care homes, possibly for the Autumn as we are finding the prospect of supporting mum at home, whilst she is starting to deteriorate further with personal care and mobility, too daunting.
We know that mum isn't going to accept this, she will be self funding and we have both POA for finance and health, so are hoping we can just organise it ourselves without going through SS. We really don't know how we will manage the actual move, without her just refusing to go!
