Today I've had a visit from Bob's social worker and CPN. He has been diagnosed for 3 years but in reality I can pinpoint approx 10. I am having 2 weeks holiday at the beginning of Nov, and was hoping he was going to have residential care as he did last year. I am told there is a change to the legilation in the mental health act and he has the decision as to whether he is cared for at home or in a care home. Of course he is not aware of how little he is able to think for himself and naturally does not want to go away. The care package will take the form of several visits a day to check on him. Day time is not too much of a problem and I am able to work full time. His most vulnerable time is after bed time when the darkness seems to highten his confusion. I am quite distraught by this as I thought I could contentedly enjoy my holiday in the knowledge that he was secure and well cared for. I now feel this is being ignore because Bob doesn't want to do it. Has anyone had this situation and did it work out ok
