My 90yo Mum is now in a care home. We were very excited to get her a place there, because it's lovely, the staff are great and we feel so much better knowing she's in a safe environment with professional carers (and not home alone).
Although she seems to like some aspects of being there, she frequently says she wants to go home and even asks me to take her home sometimes. In time, I'm hoping that might stop. How should do I deal with that?, I find it very awkward to know what to do or say.
Although I'd love to see her often, I have to accept that 'Mum' is gradually fading away. Sometimes she doesn't recognise me and she's confused about so many things, a visit is not always a good experience. I feel bad about it, but I'm beginning to think about how often I should visit. I'd be interested to know how often other people visit their loves ones?
