my grandma has recently been diagnosed with alzheimers and has been out into a home yesterday.
she is just over 60, i am 30.
my gran is so so upset about being away from home, i cant cope knowing how upset she is, she still knows things as the alzheimers isnt at a late stage, she has been assesed by mental health people and they have put her in the home because she refused round the clock care at home, but she isnt sectioned.
i dont feel my gran has been properly explained that if she accepts 24 hour care then she will not have to go into the home, its like everyone has just given up hope with her and cant be bothered explaining things.
please please can anyone advise me what to do, she hates it in the home and i know she would now accept home care but i cant go to see her to explain things as i will be upset in front of her and she doesnt need that.
i feel so horrible. i have just said that i will look after her at home but i am not sure how big of a responsibility it is, i am willing to try anything because i havent given up on her the way everyone else seems to have.
please can anyone help me, how can i explain to her about round the clock care and how she wont need to be in residential care if she accepts it.
please someone advise me on anything, i feel terrible
