Over the last few days it has become obvious from various things that have happened that mum can no longer stay at home. Dad can't cope any more and his health is at risk. My question is...how do you get a person into a care home ? I mean physically. We wil be self funding, I have chosen a home, on a waiting list for a room but how do I get mum to agree to it. She won't ! Do I lie and tell her it's just for a couple of days. Do,I take her to have a look? What happens when the home send their staff member to assess her? What do I tell her? Mum has Lewy Body and the aggression that goes with it. We have been surviving on keeping her in a good state by dancing around her. Poor dad gets the brunt of the aggression. I am there every day but work so can't be there all the time. As I have read before as we are self funding SS do not want to know.
I have got my head stuck on the logistics of actually moving her, can't even think past that yet.
Does anyone have any comments / suggestions after moving a loved one into a home?
Thanks
