Hi all
I don't know where to begin, I'm a mum of two boys age 8 and 15.
My dad has vascular dementia. He is has been in a lovely home since March last year.
On Thursday last week I got the call to say the home is closing for a refurb and I have three months to secure somewhere else. The news has broken me.
He is in late stage.
Before this lovely home he was in a residential home briefly, he had multiple TIA, went down hill very fast, they wanted him out. He escaped and then he was injured, they didn't seek medical help. An inreach external person happened to see him and he was rescued by us. As a victim of abuse and now petrified of uniformed people he was sectioned and placed for his safety in a Mental Health Unit. It was very difficult to find him a home after being in the unit as his needs are high.
So here I am. The move will set him back, I don't want to move him but there is no choice. Its cruel to him and us. My beautiful, wonderful dad would be mortified to see what he has become.
