Hello everybody
Need some advice???
Dad has been taken into a home (12 week transistional stay), after a recent hospital visit between myself and social Services the time had come when I couldn't cope with Dad.
He is in his 4th week at the home, the first 2 weeks he was taking any opportunity to "escape", this had subsided over the last few days, however, I had a call today from the home telling me that Dad had "absconded", the Police had been informed!! He was found after 2 and half hour, needless to say I was really worried. I am quite concerned about his "walkabouts", does anybody have any thoughts or experience of this? What steps can the home put in place for Dad? When Dad was assessed one of the points recorded on the assement was concern that he needed 24/7 care/supervision???
I would be grateful for any pointers on this.
Thanks
