Hi not sure if this is in the right thread as a newbie to this!
My mother was diagnosed with dementia 24 months ago. We have gradually increased the wrap around services as her ability to do day to day activities become more challenging. After a fall and hospital stay of several weeks, mum was allowed home again with more input. Unfortunately her confusion and general deterioration continued and 10 days ago we had to have her put into a Rest home. My mother is hating it, tears and accusations that we have put her there unnecessarily, it is a huge strain and so upsetting to see her now. Any tips on how to approach this next phase would be good, at the moment when we visit it is all rehashed again and again. Have tried simple crosswords but not successful. Open to suggestions please
