Hi all and thanks for your continued support.
Well after the failed attempt at getting Grandad into respite we contacted the social worker and the CPN.
The social worker is lovely but the CPN was most blunt and rude. He more or less insisted that help had been offered (ie respite) and we were obviously not working hard enough at getting Grandad to the respite home. His exact words were "why didn't you just tell him he was going on some sort of outing?!!" Hellloooo but Grandad never leaves the house and he's not stupid. If you even mention the "R" word he flips his lid! We told him he had an appointment last time and as soon as we got to the home he was trying to run out the door! This sort of condescending attitude is not helpful.
On a positive note, Nan has had a better week. She is most embarassed about her breakdown on the bus (bless her) and is still tired but is trying to be strong.
Best wishes to you all
