Please looking for some help. Mum just had 2 weeks respite for the first time ever. She did ever so well and amazingly mingled! Much more than I thought she would! However I think it was because she knew it was temporary. She after a week is now saying she is tired and wants to go home. Said everyone has been really nice but she wants to go home now.
My next question is - my family and hubby included think we should find her a permanent care home! Mum doesn't want that and never has. She does wants to be at home and end her days there! I'm with her , but no one else is.
I have suggested live in carers but my family think that she should be in a home.
How do I get through this and I wish I knew the answer! She still has some mental capacity so I feel she knows what she wants.
I feel so torn and feel I will be betraying my Mum if she goes into a home against her will . What an unenviable decision
Thanks for just reading guys?
Best wishes
Jane
