..If Only You Didn't Have To Get Old...

Dave & I have been to two care homes today looking for another place for my dad who is currently in care because of Alzheimer's but has to be moved because they are closing the home he's in after Christmas for at least a year for full refurbishment. This was a complete shock for the family as it came out of the blue & dad's only been in this home since May this year...It's so upsetting...we went to one that I didn't feel was suitable for him, there's just something that doesn't 'sit right' if you know what I mean! The other was much better, it's actually the second visit that we've had there - there was a bit of an issue, last week, with the smell of the place. When I mentioned this to them they said that they'd had trouble with a couple of residents having a urine infections so we returned unannounced this afternoon and I'm pleased report that the horrible pee smell wasn't there so I've said yes to dad going there...
