So..
Its been a bad week on and off for my dad. He went out his SH ,alarm went off,he ignored it so I got called out.. no wardens on during the night. Got him in and settled. That was last wkend sund night. ..
Tonight was terrible. He did the same,but when the last carer left abd locked doors and out his alarm on etc , he called me at home not even an hour after, hysterical saying he was locked in a doctor's surgery and to phone the police. . I can usually calm him down over the phone but there was no reasoning. . The community alarms lady also tried to speak to him but he was extremely agitated and hallucinations were bad. When I got there he was in tge front garden. Said hed been locked in a doctors surgery and would've been left there until Monday. . When I tried to get him to sit down take off his coat he was really angry I was angry and frustrated but he was worst ive seen. He said as soon as I leave he was off. So.. I had to take him to my house. 6 yr daughter in bed, husband and me slept on couch etc downstairs. . We're on our last legs marriage wise, so you can imagine it..
He x doesn't have a social worker has a key worker at men clinic. I don't know if its time I got dad more care.. I promised him I wouldn't at the start but now its scaring me. Its confusing as he does all his own personal care , is quite bright on days still. think a home would put him back? Im in Scotland lanarkshire. What kind of care is good for this stage? He always hated idea of home's. He was in respite when we were on hol a week and created to get home. He has carers 4x a day. Seems his anxiety etc getting worse. He cant get meds for it due to other conditions
Any suggestions and advice please
