Just had a phone call 11.00, from dad's care company - an employee just happened to find him about a mile from home this evening and returned him home. Thank goodness!
They wanted me to go and make sure he was alright, but, I live about an hours drive away and my brother works til midnight, so after a few minutes panic I rang dad's youngest neighbours (in their 60's) to ask if they would check on him and if there was a problem to let me know and then I would come down only to be told they wouldn't do it as they had just gone to bed and he wasn't their problem! I shan't be asking them again I am actually very angry because only the other day they said if there was anything they could do to help they would.
After a few more headless chicken moments finally got throught to my brother who is leaving work early to check on Dad.Should be with him about now.
