Hi,
My Mum has been in a General Residential Care home for 16 months.
She was diagnosed with Alzeimers after having Lung Surgery to remove a tumor (3years 5 months ago). I cared for her for the first 25 months but couldn't keep her safe at night due to her wandering.
I have recently been informed by the CH Manager that she needs to move onto Dementia Residential due to her challenging behaviour. I have manged to get her a trial placement in a suitable place and hope she settles and can stay permanently.
I am struggling to envisage the actual moving day (next week) mainly as I am not sure what to say to her on the day. Would appreciate your thought/ideas.
