Hi , my MIL has recently been admitted to a NH following hospital admission with a fractured ankle . The staff in the home were lovely , unfortunately due to her aggressive challenging behaviour she was admitted to a special dementia unit under a 28 day assessment order .The staff again there were fantastic however she could only stay two days as it was out of the area. Today they moved her again to a local unit today.
Every time we visit her her agitation becomes worse and she keeps asking us to take her home. My husband feels massive guilt and it is making him ill with worry.
Today I came home to see he was visibly shaken as the new unit had phoned him and then put his mum on the phone who then began asking him to take her home and shouting down the phone.
I had to phone them and ask what they had hoped to achieve by this as it upset his mum, who would not remember after 30 minutes or so, but it made my husband ill.
I'm afraid I rang and said it was highly inappropriate to have done this .
Has anyone else had this experience?
