Just wondered if anyone could offer some advice or point me in the right direction.
Just returned from a visit to my Dads flat,argh! He comes to me for his daily medication so it has been a few weeks since I have been and it was a shock. He is obviously not looking after the place properly and it was pretty dirty, kitchen,bathroom etc. I am happy to go and do a big clean but he does get a bit fed up with me as he says I have enough on my plate with 2 young children, not sure if he is a bit embarrassed! Also I do not think that he is eating properly, could he be forgetting? I cook for him and give him plated/made up food but I am not actually watching him eating and today I have found the food not eaten and growing unmentionables!!!!
I feel awful as though I am neglecting him, I am sure anyone reading this would think I am, but as he comes to me everyday I try to give him the odd sandwich etc but he is obviously not eating and he has lost weight.
what would be my next step to help this? Can anyone advise, I would be grateful.
Thanks
Stevie
