Finally, the trauma is over. Dad is in a care home that specialises in dementia related cases. He has a room with a window overlooking the river. The family members are utterly exhausted but relieved. Thank you for all the kindness expressed this week.
Thank you to everyone for your kindness. Today, my mother is being taken by ambulance to collect my father from his Restbite home and will be taken to a care facility nearer to home. It has taken a year - a lot of stress and heartbreak - finally we have the care he needs.
