Hi all,
Dad is into his 3rd week at nursing/care home after nearly 12 months in assessment unit. Within his first couple of weeks he has had 2 TIA's, 2 bad falls (he has now got broken nose) and urine infection. I have been told today that he started storing food in his mouth yesterday, they have puried his food however he is refusing to open his mouth!!! Where do we go from here? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Unfortunately, I have not been to visit for well over a week, I have had chest infection.
Thanks
Sue
