grandsons go to visit their grandad today
This afternoon my daughter Cathy took her two boys to visit Grandad in his new care home. Can't hardly believe it but she said he was still very settled and relaxed and although he thought she was his sister the visit went well. She wants to take him out one day for a beer and a snack and asked me what I thought. The carers were all for it, in fact they said that yesterday (Sunday) he was asking how he could get to church so does anyone have any advice about this. She felt that he would stagnate if just left in the care home as it is get up, breakfast, sleep in the lounge in the chair, wake up for lunch, sleep in the lounge until tea and then watch tv until bed time. I feel that we ought to try this and if it is difficult then we will know for next time.
It would be interesting to hear what other TPers did in this situation and how it worked out. Thank you all for reading my posts and for all your love and support.
That's lovely news
