Hi Talking Point, I need some advice. Mum had been living on her own since her diagnosis of Alzheimer’s 2 years ago. She was assessed as a vulnerable adult (self neglect) in Nov and has been offered a place in sheltered accommodation which is due to open shortly. However this week things have broken down and she can no longer live alone (forgetting to eat, house freezing etc). She has moved in with me for a few days but has been given emergency respite from tomorrow at a local dementia care home (social worker has been amazing). She has no idea she is going and I have no idea how to broach it with her. We have been told by the CH manager that if she doesn’t agree to stay they can’t force her. But what do we then do with her next week as my hubby and I work full time? And what is the best way to handle things tomorrow. Should we just say she is staying there for a few days and hope she agrees. Any advice is most welcome.
