We as a family are going through a very difficult time at the moment. Mums Dementia is progressing and Dad has been struggling to cope. He is undergoing treatment for Cancer and has other health problems as well.
I have managed to find some respite care for Mum to give Dad a rest, but he is so distressed at her going into care that he is getting no rest or sleep at all! On top of that Mum is not settling into the home and just pleads to come home. I'm not sure that the care home is set up to care for Mum who is very mobile and needs a lot of stimulation. Dad wants me to bring her home all the time and I feel I will have to do this even if it all breaks down again. HELP!!!
