Good afternoon
My dad has alzheimers and is in a care home. He keeps a wallet with bank notes in but lately has been putting bank notes into his trouser pocket and they have been found in the laundry. I got some fake money for him (care home not happy he has cash in his wallet) but when it arrived it was a lot smaller than real money so I know he won't fall that.
So any ideas, also he keeps asking for his bank card. I have POA and keep his card and was giving him cash when he asked for it to make him feel that he had money with him. Now I feel stuck as I don't want him losing more cash if I give it to him and same issue with the bank card. He won't put his wallet in the care home safe.
