Hi there,
I'm new to this but I'm looking for some advice.
My mum had been caring for dad at home for the last 8-9 years, however as things have gotten steadily worse the cpn came round today to see dad and ended up admitting him into the local dementia unit at the hospital for a complee medical and psychiatric evaluation.
I reckon he must be nearing the end stages however mum is still in a bit of denial as he still has 'good' days.
The last few weeks he has been struggling to swallow, has been sleeping night and day and getting steadily aggressive when she tries to wake him to take his medication.
Basically how long would he be in hospital for evaluation before we discuss the next stage?
I'm 150 miles away and worried sick
