Hi All
Its has all been sorted and the MIL has a care home place at the same place she had respite care. So my OH and I are popping there tomorrow to discuss with them. However, despite last Sunday discussing this with the MIL and all was fine and she agreed, Monday the SW came and she threw a hissy fit and we were her worst enemies,she can look after herself and we do nothing for her - you know how it goes! Despite that he went back to the panel he had to see and she has been awarded her long term care certificate so can basically now go in a home (works different to the UK).
However, just wondering how to approach the issue of a) what do we tell her - she may realise its not respite if we try that one, she may be ok, she may throw a hissy fit again - and then we have to get her there once her room is allocated. That's the bit I am dreading - how have others approached this what has worked for them? Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks
