Sorry if my message was written too quickly.Wondered if anyone ina similar situation? My dad has severe dementia as well as other complex medical problems. He will not attend day care, respite, mental health care or nursing home care. He was aggressive to staff in hospital and pulled out all medication and spat out tablets, refused to eat and drink and was diagnosed by the consultant as having only 2 weeks to live. We were told he would have to go to a nursing home for 24 hour care but when there he fell out of bed constantly, broke his nose, and had a black eye in the first week.We decided to bring him home and after coming home with my sisiter's help we gradually nursed him back to health. He is now able to walk around but needs someone with him at all times.
I am caring for him at home on my own now ( but with social services coming in 4 times a day) and trying to get continuing care funding for care in the daytime for me to work. Wondered if there was anyone who was in a similar situation??
