Hi , our mum has Alzheimer’s and has lived on her own independently for over 30 years ,
We have tried everything to keep her at home and as her daughters she would not let us be her carers without getting very nasty , but her capacity has now gone and still in total denial she is ill .
It all came to a head last week when she became unsafe in her home .
After a short stay in hospital we have moved her into a lovely dementia care home .
This has really distressed mum to the point she is sleeping in her chair and planning her escape to route as she just wants to go to her house
We are so worried , can anyone help us on what to say to her or do to make her settle as we have to sell her house asap to pay the care home fees ?
Do we stay away or keep visiting ? 💔
