My dad has recently been diagnosed with vascular demetia and has spent the last 8 weeks in hospital after a fall in town. Until this he had been living on his own, since losing mum 4 years ago. We noticed his behaviour changing, and the loss of short term memory happening over the past year or so. When he was in hospital we were told that he would not be able to go home as he needed full time care, even though he had lived on his own for the past 4 years. We felt pushed into making decisions about things we know nothing about,and didnt get any real help or advice. Dad moved into a lovely care home yesterday, but our concerns are that everyone else in there has much further advanced dementia than him .and that this is the wrong environment for him.He can do everything for himself, just needs reminding to do some things. We felt so bad when we left the home last night and are now so confused. Can anyone offer any help or advice? please?
