My husband is still very unsettled in his C.H. even after a year. He is incontinent and very uncooperative with the carers. Consequently his room often smells really bad.
He is chair/wheelchair bound as a result of a stroke but recently he has become convinced that he can walk and he often falls. His bed/chair/wheelchair are all alarmed but by the staff arrive he is already on the floor. He hasn’t been injured yet but it’s only a matter of time.
My daughter says that he is ‘at risk’ and that I should move him to another smaller C.H. where he could be supervised all the time. The C.H. where he is, is large and modern, with 3 floors and lifts Inbetween. He has the freedom to move around and see different people.
I feel that in a smaller place he would be stuck in a lounge surrounded by people who are asleep most of the time, just so that he can be watched all the time.
My daughter is a strong personality and she is expecting me to do as she says. Help please!!
