Choosing a Care home
Thanks again everyone,
Angel, what is the care home booklet that you mentioned with the questions in?
I am going to look at a brand new purpose built home tomorrow. The only reason I have chosen this one to go to first is because it is empty! I am a chicken and want to see a home without people in it first! My Oh is coming with me and so to is my sister I think. won't be easy being with her as we don't really get on nowadays. Today she is asking me about keeping Dad at home and having live in carers for him. She is scared that he will forget who she is, she only manages to see him for half an hour each week at the moment and is always in a rush. I guess they are her demons that she will have to deal with.
I have no worries about Dad forgetting who I am, of course I know it may come with this awful disease but I know he won't be forgetting me because he never sees me.
