My uncle has been in his new care home for three days now and i went to visit him there for the first time today. He has sworn at the staff and told them to leave his room and refuses to get out of bed.. is this normal? does anybody have any previous experience of this or any ideas? any advice much apprechiated!! I think me and my mum thought of every possible thing he might not like but we didn't expect him to be rude to the staff! they said it was no problem at all and that lots of people are like it but we cant help feel guilty as it cant be nice for them. He did tell me off for asking him to change as he was still in his pjamas and we thought maybe if eh got changed and went out for a walk around he might feel a bit better- he was less than impressed
He does seem much better in himself, hes gained a little weight and taking all the right medication so we know he is definatly better off there we just thought htis might me the settling in period? i hope so anyway!!
any advice or expereinces very much welcomed!
lots of love
