Hi all. My dad is due to go in to care next week. Social services and mental health have recommended immediate respite and we're just waiting for a list of available places from them. Aside from my mum needing a break (pretty much the sole carer), he's permanently in a confused mental state, doesn't sleep much, tries to urinate everywhere and anywhere, and had been physically violent to her. Our main concern now is Dad having to isolate on arrival. It's bad enough putting him in to care, but it just seems inhumane to put him in to care whilst also locking him in a room for up to two weeks.
Does anyone have any similar experiences? What was the rules in the home re. isolation? How did they react to being isolated for a prolonged period of time?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
