Hello
I wanted to ask everyone at what point do you put your parent into a care home?
My dad has vascular dementia/ mixed alzheimers . My dad was living on his own. I thought to keep him there i would try a live in carer. Lets just say it been a rough 3 weeks. My dad suffered really bad paranoia, mistrust, aggression, sleepless ness . He was escaping the bungalow and shouting out at 3am to everyone in the street. I experienced my dad turning a sofa upside down and a put up bed. He was physical with the carer too. The carer went as they couldn’t help my dad anymore ....
Ive now put him in a home yesterday and hes demanding to come home.
Have i done the right thing?
i can’t afford to look after my dad as im a single parent with a morgage.
