Hello all,
I haven't been on here for a while so please forgive me.
I was hoping for some advice from you lovely people.
My Nan is getting to the end of her tether looking after Grandad. She is really struggling to cope and we are getting really worried about her health. She is getting virtually no sleep as Grandad is very restless and wanders at night and during the day she is constantly cleaning up after him.
The problem is that my Grandad is very stubborn. We managed to get him to do 2weeks of respite with a lot lof trickery on our part. He now refuses point blank to go back and he won't entertain day care either.
Whenever a social worker, carer, or assessor visits he gets very aggitated and 70% of the time he shouts at them to go away.
My Nan is at breaking point and want's him to go into a home.
Can we do this if he is refusing? We're all really concerned about Nan's health as she is has a hole in her heart and is on Warfarin.
Has anyone been in the same situation?
Thank you
