Hi, my father has mixed dementia and I am his next of kin. I have two brothers but live abroad.
My father has now started to lock himself out of his house and also left the front door open. He calls me to see where mum is but we lost her in 2006 to cancer and now asking if I have seen my brothers, even though they are not around. He has left the front door open one day he went out. I have got him carers that go in twice a day to give medication. He really believes he was going to be taken back to where he grew up to live.
Is it time for him to be in a home?
Would love some comments please.
Thanks
