Dad has been in hospital for 4 weeks now and he is really fed up. All he talks about is going home and what he is going to do when he gets there. Every day he is ready to go home with Mum and asks when he can leave and how they are going to get home. He has started taking his pyjamas off so that he can get dressed to catch the bus. He is being assessed by a Care Home in the next day or so, but how do we tell him that he cannot go home? We have asked the Care Home manager not to mention why she is there to see him. I know from comments that he will adapt to being in the Care Home, but how do we tell him that he can't go back to the house he has lived in for over 50 years?
