Dear Susan
Hope you do take the bull by the horns and visit AM. The thing that makes me angry about what you say is that as far as I understand things your Dad is not a prisoner, he is in a home, his home, and you are entitled to visit any time you like and any good home should encourage this practice. Mum's home does encourage such in the blurb and a lot of the staff don't seem to like it, but if I need to call in to see her at 10 o'clock at night, I can and do, always taking account whilst I'm there that this is one of the hardest parts of their day. You are not after them to entertain you, you just want to sit with your Dad.
Mum's social worker set this in mind for me at the outset when she said in answer to one of my can she/we? that she can have what she likes - it's her home, she's paying for it and don't let them forget it. So hope you do visit; if nothing else it will be interesting to see how they are with the situation.
Hope your head is not like a box of frogs this AM anyway - like your Dad and you, I love red wine as opposed to white but the headaches!
