Hello everyone, I've had this account for about a year and this is the first time I have ever posted, so this may be a lot of information rolled into one post.
My nan has Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. My auntie is my Nan's full time carer.
My auntie has done so well to get this far in keeping my nan safe and well cared for but unfortunately things are getter to much for her, and we are worried for my aunts health.
My auntie lives in her house and my nan lives in the granny annexe on the side but unfortunately nan keeps getting up at night and falling over.
Nan starts the day off ok at about midday when she wakes up and things deteriorate as the day goes on. By about 4pm my nan wants to go home and wants her mum and dad to pick her up. This then results in my nan trying to leave the house and when my aunt tries to stop her for her own safety nan lashes out.
My aunt has been dealing with this pretty much every day now for the last couple of months,it's just getting to her to much.
The decision was made by my aunt and my mum (Nan's only children) to put my nan in to emergency restbite.
The social worker came round today to talk the family through it and they will try and get nan into a home Monday.
I'm so frightened and worried as I love my nan so very much and I don't want her to be scared or worried, can anyone here give me an idea of how she may react When we get to the home or what to expect???
Any advice would be much much appreciated
Xx
