Hi,
My father is in the end stages of his dementia journey and now increasingly frail and looking like the end is coming.
He now is completely non communicative and bed bound throughout the day.
He still has good food and drink intake.
We care for him at home and would like his passing to happen here in peace.
Does anyone know who to contact regarding arranging palliative care in the community?
How does the process work? Is it arranged via GP or other routes? He looks very poorly to me and I’m concerned his passing may be imminent, but my mum and his main carer say he has been like this for the last few months. I certainly feel like the deterioration is occurring faster these days. As a family we don’t want any further hospital admissions which we will discuss with the GP when they reopen on Wednesday.
Any info/tips or experience that people have on arranging home support and care in preparation for, and during the dying process would be much appreciated.
Thank you
