On the advice of my GP I reluctantly agreed to look for respite for my husband. Bob is 85 and was diagnosed with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's.A 2 week respite was agreed in a dementia home, in our village. Four days after I had a fall, ending in hospital with a broken pelvis and dominant right arm. I Am now in a re-hab facility, on my third week, awaiting a care package possibly in another weeks time.My son is in touch with the Care home, who are extending the respite. I know it will be a while before I will be able to see my husband,and on many hours of reflection ,wonder if my best action is to consider asking for a residential place forBob, but I am unsure how to go about it. I am sure the fall was due to shear exhaustion.Any advice for my situation would be helpful.
