Hello
My dad has vascular dementia. He has carers visit three times a day. A recurring theme lately is that he making inappropriate comments to female carers. The care company we use has an app that family members can access and read the carers notes. Today the carer has said my Dad has made inappropriate comments and she is contacting the office and told him it’s inappropriate. How do people manage this situation? I agree it’s inappropriate but I also recognise it’s the dementia. Whilst we can tell him it’s not appropriate I’m not sure he can retain this or change his behaviour. I guess some carers may request to not be assigned to that call if they are uncomfortable.
Any help or advice would be welcome.
Thank you
