Dad now attends full days of day care twice a week, mon and tue. Loves it ..as does mum !
He has been pretty settled so as yet we havnt done anything about respite. Until now!
These past few weeks dad has become sundowning I feel, slamming things when he needs to go out to a meeting ??. Walks around from teatime with his coat and hat , also extra coat under his arm! Aggressive , ranting when can't get out (door locked) , she can delay him so long but it's draining her.
A recent customer was here and was off to visit care home for dementia suffering parents locally, she has been wonderful emailing me her findings and info.
She did say she has found it very hard to find Emi care locally, should I be looking for this ?
I'm on a respite hunt now , nowhere has designated dementia beds anymore having to give them up to full time care
so case of slot in where you can, if you can.
Any advice re respite , what to do, ask when I go looking at places would be so helpful.
