Mum has been in care home since September. Has taken her a while to settle and still asks about going back home.
For many many years she has always been with us for Christmas (both Xmas and Boxing Days and stayed the night).
We have taken her out a couple of times (garden centre and a walk) and is happy to return to the care home.
But really not sure what to do about Xmas and whether or not it is a good idea having her at mine and then return her back to the care home later. But worried we wont get her back? Will it unsettle her, make her angry and be demanding about staying the night, or ask about taking her back to her house (which is only round the corner) and we are in the process of clearing.
Any thoughts/advice gratefully received. I will speak with the Care Home too.
