hi
our mam went into an assesment unit 5 weeks ago and when she went in we were told not to visit for three days,when we went she was very very very distressed, we then visited every day and every day the same,but after half an hour we were always able to calm and reassure her. we,ve spent more or less every day with her for the last six years so it was awfully upsetting. she has now been transferred to a NH although still under the assesment unit for a while. we took mam out for the first time on saturday and had a luvley walk along the beach she loved it. now we have been told by the assesment unit because mam is having trouble sleeping not to take her out for up to six weeks! because it may be unsettling. surely to be out enjoying herself ( she forgets she,s even been out by the time we got back) is better than wandering up and down the corridoors all day, any advice appreciated
