I'm very nearly 100% sure that a care home is needed now for mum and I've found one I like. Not an easy task in itself as everyone will know.
Someone came today from the home to 'assess' mum and that was really a little chat in her own home. No-one has really tackled telling mum.
In any case we can't tell her in advance of even the simplest things(or even nice treats like going out for Christmas lunch) as she remembers something is happening but not what it is, and is even more distressed in case she has to get ready or be somewhere.
Any advice on what we say if we take her for a trial?
I hope to be prepared and have ordered name tapes for her clothes etc. What about tights? How do I label those?
