An elderly relative has planned to go into a care home. They have sold their home and will be self funding.
They seem to be doing everything themselves. I have spoken to people who have contact with them regularly and understand that no-one is supposed to know where they are going.
However, I had a good idea which care home it was; this was confirmed when I phoned the home this weekend. A member of staff told me that my relative has already brought some of their furniture into the home and had visited for lunch a few times!
Because there is a family history of dementia, I have kept an eye on this relation, albeit from a distance.
Should I be concerned?
