Thank you disi, jennifer, and Heike, for you advice, l am looking forward to the respite as l am worn out, l have read Scarlett's thread, which is so true we all need a break, l don'feel guilty, because l have given him 55yrs of my life, the CH hubby is going to we have visited every week for the last 2yrs, as a family member has been resident there, she died 3months ago. No other home will take him as he is a wanderer, but no longer safe to keep wandering outside, hates being trapped indoors. I am sure they will be able to manage him, as they all know him.
