Got to Mums
at 8am
gave her breakfast and her meds also helped her have a bath, John and I did
some housework for her.
Had to look for her glasses as she had lost
them once again! I couldn’t find them
anywhere, so left a note to the carers to that effect.
We walked up to the village and got her some
shopping and stocked up her food cupboard. When we got back I got her a cup of
tea and a slice of cake, before we left I got her a sandwich and cake and a glass
of Lambruso. I left her a home cooked
meal to have later in the afternoon
Michael
picked me up at 2pm and we went to Daphs to have a meeting with
Sharon Hale from Social Services, to fill in the 42 page form to apply for 2
weeks respite care at West View in Tenterden, with the hope that it would lead
to a permanent placing.
We also
sorted a lunch time carer to go in to make sure she is eating lunch time, she
would start tomorrow. She also sorted
out a carer to go in on Tuesday 29th June as I have a hospital
appointment so I can’t go over to her.
John picked
me up and on the way home we noticed that Michael had gone into mum, he said
that when he got there mums back door was unlocked and that she was in bed!
Wednesday 2nd June
1.30pm the Town and Country lunch time carer phoned to
say that she had gone to mum at that mum wasn’t there. I told her that it was best to leave it for
today and that I would try and find out where she was!
I phoned
Dib and told him, he said that mum was there as another neighbour had gone over
to him and said that mum was wondering up and down the road not knowing where
she was, so he went and found her and took her back with him, she was now with
him.
Did said
that they would keep and eye on her at this time of the day from now on
I phoned
Town and Country and explained what had happened.
Saturday 5th June
(We managed
to get a couple of days away) I phoned mum to say that we would be popping in
to see her and she said ‘Thank goodness I wondered where you had been, I haven’t
seen you for a very long time’.
We got to
mums just after 9am she looked very disorientated and a bit far
away! I got her a cup of tea and a slice of cake and we sat outside in the garden as it was a
lovely sunny day.
Michael
phoned and was surprised that we were there and that he was going to pop over,
I told him that it was fine as we were only staying for a little while.
I told mum
that Michael was coming over and she got very excited, saying ‘do I look Ok’
and ‘ I wonder where he is taking me’ I
told her that he hadn’t mentioned that he was taking her anywhere, just that he
was coming over, she got very fidgety and then stood in the front garden until
he arrived. The first thing she asked
him was ‘where are you taking me’. I
reminded him that the carer would be there at 12.30pm
