Took George for his second visit to Respite care home for the day, arrived about ten oclock.
On arriving George refuse d to get out of car, said he would just sit there. said that very well I would just go in, on that he got out of car, wasnot looking very happy.
Staff greeted us, and told them he had felt threatned or uncumfortable where he was seated the last time he was there.
George deaf, does not tune hearing aids in, if he remembers to put them in. Also has no speech and also has difficulty swallowing, as so many of these patiens seem to have,
Well having settled him in easy chair and going to sit next to him for while, one member asking him if he would like tea and toast ,another member of staff hustled me up and told me to go home and relax.
Must say felt upset and guilty at leaving him, but knew have to do it.
They brought him home in the bus about 5oclock. He just waved them goodbye, staff managed to tell me he had just sat alone all day and had his dinner on his own. Have not had any feeback on his day at all , Just came in had tea and watched Tv. Not a word or deed, just cannot make any sense of it at all.
And there was I upset and worrying about him all day. Still have not had a word.
The home is very nice and staff very good,
So it looks as though he will have a day a week, am hoping will be able to get him picked up and that would be good help. Lizbet
Am going to get out next Sunday and take advantage of break. Lizbet
