Hi
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I’ll try to keep it short.
Father in Law has mild dementia (not diagnosed), repeating himself, forgetting what day it is, unable to hold a detailed conversation etc.
His wife is bed bound from a stroke many years ago.
I’m looking into care homes (self funders) and found a nice one by where the family lives. Attempting a managed move. MIL will have no issue with moving.
I’ve asked him about moving and the reply is ‘I’m too old’ or ‘what will happen with the house’ or ‘you’re getting fed up of coming to see me’.
Anyone any ideas of the hidden meanings so I reassure him all will be OK and positive move.
I’m planning to take him for lunch there and a look round in a few days.
Thanks
