Hi All,
I just wanted to ask what any of you would say to this problem. Which a friend of mine, had to deal with the other day.
She was visiting her hubby who is in a Dementia unit. He went off to the loo but seemed to be rather a long time,She went in and found they had taken all his clothes off and had his hands down the loo. Sorry.He wasp ulling out his poo and putting it all into the washbasin. She called for someone to help a cleaner came. She had to leave as she was so upset.
All I could say was did she get a chance to talk to the staff in charge of the unit. She said they were all busy at the time, and she just wanted to get out of the place being so distressed. She was going to ring later to see how long or if he has done this before. He doesnot seem to know her anymore.
I found it very hard knowing what to say to her at the time, other than how very sorry I was that this happened to himIt's not his fault its this rotten illness. Gave her a hug.What can you say or do about dealing with this kind of problem.
I hope I have not upset anyone, but I want to support my friend in any way I can.
Thankyou
