I'm planning on trying to place my wife in a local care home for some respite, for the first time. She goes to a day-care centre for one day a week and seems to be okay there, after a few weeks, having got a bit weepy apparently the first and second time.
I'm aware that everyone is different but I thought about trying her in the respite home for a couple of days to see how it goes.
The home suggested, (and I guess they should know), that 4 days is best as a start because it often takes a couple of days for the person to become accustomed and settled.
I will be self-funding so there is a cost issue as well (£110 per night).
Any advice or experiences gratefully received
