Hi,
Does anyone know what the possible options are on residential care. My Grandmother has been diagnosed with dementia earlier this year and my Grandfather has been caring for her. However he is now finding it difficult to cope and my uncles are talking about them selling their house and buying somewhere warden controlled. Personally I don't think this will be any good because its help with my Nan's care that is needed.
It will devastate them if they are separated but I understand that since Nan is ill she will need to go into a home that can deal with her mental state whereas Grandad isn't ill at all and I don't know if he would be able to join her wherever she goes.
I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me on this as I think at the moment my uncles are trying to rush things without considering all the possibilities.
Thanks
Sarah
