Hi my dad is 84 and has mixed dementia up until september last year he was happy to go out to local shops and take his little dog a walk, he also had a bet everyday and went to the local bookies and chatted with friends he has known for years. Then in september he had a fall and was in hospital for 7 weeks he also had a chest infection. Since coming home he has carers coming in 3 times a day to prepare meals and prompt meds (hospital arranged this) he lives alone although I see him every day before and after work. The problem I have is trying to get him to go out even when I offer to go with him, he previously walked with a stick but now needs a frame I wonder if this is the problem?. His next door neighbour gave him a rollator (think thats what its called) but that hasnt tempted him out! Would be grateful if anyone has anybody has any ideas how to get him to go out, I have managed to get him to go to a couple of doc appointments reluctantly .
