Hi ,
I have just joined and could do with help over my father who has gone down hill, I feel like knocking my head on a brick wall as no-one is giving us any help.
Just before christmas my father had an accident and went into hospital, we knew then he had dementia but did not know how bad.
The hospital discharge him and we had to find him a home for dementia which we did (£750 per week) after 3 days my father picked a fire extingisher up and threatend one of the staff, this led to a phone call asking us to remove him.
We found him another home (£650 per week) and they said they will access his medication and get him sorted, they also said that if it was not the medication then he may have to go into a nursing home?(confused I thought dementia homes were for people with dementia).
He seemed to of settled then he turned again and now they are saying we may have to remove him from there.
My mother who is 75 is not coping at all with this and he still has not had his medicine assesment and also he use to be so placid before never shouted or show any violence.
I am sorry if this islong winded thank you for reading and thank you in advance of any help.
