My sister and I have started looking at care homes for Mum, respite first with a view to a permanent place if everyone is happy.
I'm a bit dismayed so far. Rooms full of people sitting in chairs not smiling, not talking, just sleeping.
Care staff not interacting with residents, deadly! The place we visited today had people sitting in two conservatories; they were far too hot and uncomfortable, one lady asked to be moved but she was still sitting there when we left half an hour later. I don't want to leave Mum anywhere like that..
Is there anywhere on the internet with a proper list of recommended EMI homes?
I'm also contused as we were told to look at EMI homes but two of the places we've been to visit said people are always told to go for EMI care when in fact they don"t need it? Todays care home advertised dementia care on the internet but the manageress said they didn"t take dementia sufferers!
Anyone out there got any experience of dementia care homes in Liverpool? I'm lost!
Thanks all as always.
