I have a dilemma and would like the advice of fellow members who may have had the same experience of me.
My Mum who has Alzheimer's is in a care home and has been for 2 years. The day she went in was the same day my Father went into hospital. Because I could not leave Mum on her own while dealing with Dad I made arrangements for her to go into a home. But I always felt it was done too quickly and Mum was bundled out of the house she lived in for 20+ years.
Now the house has been sold and I would like her to see it one last time. It seems awful that the last time she was here, it was such a rush to get things sorted for both Mum and Dad. Dad never came out of hospital - he died 2 weeks later, but Mum still thinks he is alive. Mum keeps wanting to go home, but she means the house she grew up in when a girl. Does anyone think that it would be a good idea to bring Mum back to the house for a visit ?
Ultimately my plan is to have Mum come and live with me when I have settled into my new property
