My partner will going into full time care on Monday. As much as it can be,it is a planned move to a care home in our town. His family are supportive of the move. I have labelled his clothes,looked out photos for his room, and prepared as well as I can. I had hoped for a calm weekend before the ‘day’ but…
He had his last morning at day care and came home having soiled himself. He then refused to get cleaned up and changed and spent the afternoon asleep. At tea time I attempted to get him to shower and change. It turned into one of the worst altercations I’ve had with him ending up with us both very upset. I feel terrible but it’s episodes like this that have convinced me that the move is the right thing to do. I’m worn out. I hope I can re-establish a better relationship when the stresses of being his carer are removed. Wish me luck!
