I feel sick I am taking Mum to hospital in the morning, she looks dreadful,as I said on my last post her drinking is out of control and she has so many bumps on her head and body from her falls.
They thnk Mum will not agree to stay as she is in total denial and swears she has not had a drink in weeks,!!!! so she will have to be sectioned. This part I am dreading I am hoping they will dry her out while I get EPA organised so she can go home again but will not be able to buy any more brandy if I am managing her money.I know Mum will be very angry about this and I dont blame her. She is only 67 this feels so wrong.
My brother thinks she should now go to a care home, he has only been able to visit now and again because he lives further away,the main responsibility for Mum has been mine. I have agreed to go with him to look at some homes,but do not know what to be looking out for or what questions to ask !!have any of you great people got ideas of what to look for
