I’ve posted before about my dad sundowning most of the night, he lives in his own with 4 x day carers but essentially he needs help at night. He takes off his pad once the carer leaves and consequently the bed is wet every night, I have literally everything waterproof but he’s taken to removing that as well. He mops himself up with clothing so the washing daily is untenable.
Social services won’t help with waking care and we can’t afford what the care agency charges as he has no savings. He owns his own flat so I was wondering if SS would consider putting a charge on his flat just like they would if he was in a care home. Has anyone had similar?
What can I do ? I’m at a loss as to how to manage this issue … is private care cheaper? Seems like going into a home is the only option and there is no guarantee they would manage him there! He’s no problem at all during the day
