My OH has vascular dementia. He was in hospital for 4 weeks from the beginning of December due to Urine problems,aggravation & aggression.He came home last Friday with a catheter which he had taken out twice in hospital.
He was admitted to hospital again on Monday evening.His behaviour was up & down all day & at 8.45pm when he was in bed he pulled out the catheter.
He was admitted to the main hospital & transferred to the community hospital yesterday.The hospital tried to send him home.I said NO to 2 different people.I was at the end of my tether before..Now,since I've had him home for only 3 days I know I can't cope anymore.Never thought I'd hear myself say that.
I spoke to the hospital this morning.I was told he would be assessed for CHC (there is no way he would get it as my mum didn't qualify & she was 94)Then she said he would be put on "Placement" & this could take a few weeks.
Any body out there know what this entails? Any advice would be appreciated
