Had to place Mum in a Care Home recently- I tried everything else- she has moderate Alzheimer’s- broke my heart but it’s a beautiful place 😣

It's an absolutely heartbreaking disease, and you can't begin to be faulted for needing to do that. Now she will be where she gets the round the clock care she'll need. Really sorry to hear that for you though 😞

Same happened to a friend of mine. He was reluctant but his father who also has moderate Alzheimer’s is superhappy with being “waited on” several times a day and having company all the time

I had to be the person to explain to my Dad his dementia had become so bad he would need to go away for a while and then drive him on a stormy November night to a place to assess him that was like a prison. Nothing has ever felt worse than that. You’ve done a horrible but good thing. Stay strong.

I looked after my dad with dementia,eventually he was a danger to himself ..got lost,flooded the house after leaving a tap on ,set the kitchen on fire after putting the cooker on and forgetting.We had to put him in a home ..its not a easy decision but its the right one ..sending big hugs to you !
