Hi, I am totaly new to this so bare with me,
Mother (aged 82 ) living at home with husband (85) of 14 yr husband not in good health, mother now with dementia.
when I take mother out for the day she is fine but always wants to go back to her home this also hapens at the day centre she attends.
Husband wants her to go to a home ,yet we ( her family feel that her own home would be more beneficial to her condition, Mother can bathe / wash / dress,by herself but with supervision. social services provide supervision for these areas but in between these times he says he cannot cope.
Has anybody else had similar experiences
