Hi All,
I wondered if anyone has experience with dual purpose care homes. We have just started looking at the possibility of finding care for both my dad (who has alzheimers) and my mum. My mother is finding it increasing difficult to care for dad and has her own health problems (breathing difficulties).
Ulitimately, we just want to keep mum and dad together for as long as possible with extended support at home, but in the long term it now seems inevitable that dad, and mum, will need more specialised care and attention.
If this is the case, mum and dad would prefer to be in a home prepared to cater for both their needs.
My question is, do these kind of care homes exist and does anyone have any experience with such facilities.
It's just so hard to find out this kind of information.
thanks
