I'd very much appreciate if any of you could give me some advice with this.
SW is trying to organise a week's respite for Dad in the next week or so. SW is visiting him and Mum to assess her "suitability" in whether to place Mum in residential care (which was the original plan) or whether she may have to go into nursing care.
She recently had a brain haemmorhage but has now regained her mobility, speech and is able to feed herself. She is continent during the day but has some incontinence and thus wears incontinence pads at night.
They live in the Isle of Man and I believe the system differs from that in the UK.
We were hoping she could go into residential care rather than nursing care, especially as we know someone in the local residential care home and it is a wonderfully caring place. There is also the difference in cost I believe, though of course, this isn't such an important issue but we as yet, haven't vetted any of the nursing homes available.
In what condition does an AD sufferer have to have to define their 'suitability' for each?
Thanks in advance.
