Hello
It's a while since I've posted but feel the need this evening. My mother's been in hospital 6 months now. She's been on the waiting list of 2 homes, EMI with nursing. I've never been told that she has dementia, and whlst she has improved and is more rational and less confused, her anxiety levels can still soar at the drop of a hat. This week she has been offered a place in a care home which I think will be OK. I had arranged for her to be assessed by the matron next week and taken time off work - I want to be there. When I visited my mother this evening I was met with - the care home are coming to assess your mother tonight. I was not happy, very angry in fact, as I had not been informed by the care home. Anyway I insisted that the assessment takes place as planned. Am I being unreasonable? I want to talk to prepare my mother for the move and don't think it is a good idea to talk to her about it at 7pm in the evening when she is tired out. She also registered blind, deaf and can't walk any longer. Sorry to go on, but I was really upset about this.
