Hi all
Dad's been in the local care home for 7 weeks now, all in all it was going down as well as could be expected, he had good days and bad days, sometimes telling us it was time to go home and somtimes telling us it was time he went home. This last weekend things seemed to have changed, he has been climbing on the patio furniture and has been upset with himself, in his own way making it quite clear that he want's out, yesterday he went into what can only be described as depression, hardly said a word to mum or sis when they visited. There is no way mum could cope an even with full time carer's, so we know that the care home is the right place for dad, but why the sudden change?
Has anyone experienced this?
