Hi all
After some advise!
After 3 months of battling to get mum into a care home - long story- I have finally found somewhere that will accept her.
The assessment was supposed to be in her home today however at the last min the care home asked her to come in for the assessment.
It went really well and they seemed happy that they could assist her needs. Now here is the issue - as we left mum turned to me and said ‘I won’t ever come back here’
I was literally shocked! She got on so well with the staff and the residents that she met all looked so happy to see her and her them
After getting home she is very angry with me for suggesting she stays there and is adamant that she won’t go. I have said it’s a holiday and it’s only for a few days whilst I go away with work. I hate telling lies but I just can’t think of any other way to get her there in the morning!
My mum is quirky in that she won’t remember what she had for breakfast 2 mins ago but i just know she will remember the home when we arrive. I have images of my trying to yank her out of the car!
Help!! What should I do?!?
We have been waiting so long to get her in somewhere suitable and it seems we are falling at the last hurdle!
