Hello
I wonder if anybody who has ever moved their relative into another care home can kindly share their experiences?
We have done lots of deliberating about this decision but have decided that we don't believe the current home is properly meeting Mums needs as well as there being several issues regarding respect and dignity. Most of the time Mum hates it there, although when she is more settled she says it isn't bad here....but that tends to be when she is in "hotel" mode. She has been there 15 months but has never really been happy.
My only worry really is about the transition itself......how it was managed and were there any negative effects?? Anything we can do to lessen those. I keep thinking of moving somebody with this dreadful disease into another environment - although we have spent lots of time looking and talking and being in the home we have chosen and we both think that ultimately she will have a far better care there, with more space and interactions.
And also what we say to her.......its hard to tell her the real reasons when she will only demand to go home anyway.
Just wondered if anybody has done it and would be kind enough to share their experiences?
thank you xx
