Hi Folks,
1st post ........
Can anyone advise me on how to convince my OH on the benefits of attending a day centre ......... we have today been and visited a nice place with lovely staff ........ however my OH is 'appalled and disappointed' in me for EVEN THINKING that he would go to such a place!! ............ i have also in the last couple of weeks set up for a carer to come in once a week and take him out for a coffee .......... this also is not to his liking !!
I'm guessing that i will just have to wait until he is a bit further down this dementia path to the time he doesn't know whats going on ??
I work part time and just wanted to put in place somethings to save him from being on his own as i worry that he is confused and frightened when im not there. He assures me he isnt and is more than happy to be on his own to wait for me to come back !
