As I mentioned in a previous thread, I am starting to look for a Home for Mum.
My daughter and I visited one today that specialises in Dementia care. The staff were lovely. The bedrooms seemed small but cosy and it had 3 lounges...one of which was for the more "with it" residents.
I was concerned that all bedrooms are locked during the day (not with residents inside obviously!!) but it was explained that if they arent locked then possessions go "missing"...I suppose that is normal practise....?????
I felt very sad to see how my Mum will be in the future and I feel so terrible about even thinking of a Home for her even though I know it is necessary soon.
I dont want this responsiblity but there is no one else to share it with....
Sorry for moaning.
