He has vascular dementia. Recently we found him without clothes at home, wanting to end it all and having turned the house upside down. He was admitted to hospital with a water infection.
He has now been moved onto a dementia ward as he has become very aggressive. He is sometimes very tearful yet other times very aggressive. He shows signs of paranoia about the staff. He will shortly be discharged. He very much needs a care home as he is diabetic and too confused to live at home with his 87 year old frail wife, who has been in hospital for the past 5 months, but whom is due home with a care package.
Please advise how to begin getting him the care that he desperately needs.
