I am faced with a dilemma requiring a decision very soon. I have found a care home which I know John will like. He has visited and happily chatted to the men there and we have talked about it since as it has its own physiotherapy unit which he needs. There are though no vacancies at present.
I have been offered a place for him in the only other suitable dementia unit which has one vacancy. I will take him tomorrow to look at it but although it is new and I'm told has a good reputation so far it has none of the outdoor space or facilities of the home of our choice.
Should I struggle along possibly for months and wait for the right one or try this other one temporarily? Would a transfer at a later date work? He will be part funded by the LA.
