My dad has Alzheimer's but my mum who is his full time carer is declining in health herself. She has just had a UTI, not sure it's fully cleared but she had more antibiotics prescribed so hopefully this will help, however this has all knocked her for six. She desperately needs a break so I have arranged for a care home to come and assess my dad with a view to him going in possibly on Monday if he will be ok in a residential room. I think this should be fine as his needs should be well managed.
I just wanted to vent a bit. I feel as guilty as hell as I am the one arranging the care home. This is the thing that he said he never wanted to do. I know all the platitudes and I know that this IS the right thing to do but it really doesn't stop how I am feeling right now.
Let's just see what the care home says and deal with whatever happens after that.
