Well my dad is living in denial of having Alzheimer's , and he has a constant argumentative relationship with my mum who is his main carer she tries to stay calm but she often doesn't handle things ideally and I know it's hard as she is with him all the time . I try to take dad out and help with things and always find him amenable and calm . The con has today suggested a social worker sees them and we consider respite ! I am a nurse and know what this involves , my dad still drives his retest due in 3 weeks and goes out independently and has a 16 year old dog he idolises and know he won't want to go in a home , so how will this work ?? It's not that easy to just put him in respite and think he'll stay ! Is there no other way to support them both ? Feel so anxious
