Hi All,
My mum has a day at a day centre(The Club as we call it) on a Thursday. On a Tuesday, we bot have been going to a carers social together. I mentioned a few weeks ago that myself and my hubby have booked to go to Sydney to be with our family for Xmas and the new year. I went on my own last time to see our new Grandson. Hubby stayed behind to keep an eye on mum. This time we both want to go together.
I have decided to give mum another day at her club, which I think she enjoys more than, the carers group really. Maybe because when she is on her own with others they tend to try harder and hold their own without their carer with them. Don't think I have explained that very well.
Any advice would be so helpful to me of how to mention to her that she will be picked up on Tuesday morning by the transport that picks her up for the club on a Thurs. I wanted to start the other day now, so she gets used to another day before I go away in Dec.
I know that on that extra day she will have a meal, company etc. As after the carers social, she has always come back to our home for tea, have her hair washed and I make her meals for the next two day, when I don't see her. I asked the club if they would drop her off at our home, so she can still be with us for tea. I don't want her to think I don't want her or something. They said they would do this.
I can't see any point as yet mentioning about our trip to Sydney.
Thanks
