You are not alone!
Hi Southlucia
Just a note to let you know that you are not alone. My Dad has been in care for a year and in the last few months has become increasing violent with no apparent triggers.
He attacked a carer this week, giving her a black eye and I have been told to start looking for another care home as they do not feel able to keep him as he may hurt other residents or staff.
My Dad has always been a gentle man and would be devastated if he realised what he was doing. I guess the fact that he has no idea is a blessing.
He is being assessed next week and the care home manager expects to be able to move him on but I don't know where to start in finding him a place elsewhere.
This really is a nightmare isn't it. I know the heartache you are going through and wish I had answers for us both. Take care.
