Hi.
Mums care home are not able to cope with her violence any more. She is now back in an assessment ward.
Just wondered if any of you have had a similar experience. and ideas of what happens now.
I feel we are back to where we were a year ago, only now Mums worse and the thought of hunting for another home, that has a vacancy and can cope with her, is a daunting task. Is it possible to ever control the violence that this horrible illness brings. (they think mum has vascular dementia) or are there special homes designed to cope. Mum was hitting the other residents, care workers and the doctors and us. I guess i,m worried about finding a suitable place for her. Her old care home dont seem very hopeful that she will be able to return to them, and they packed up all her things.
It would be great to hear of anyone,s similar problems
