There is now only 7 days untill my parents facility closes. The organisation which has taken over the bed liscence until closure have been, what I thought, kind and understanding.
At work I received a harrassing call asking if I was going to accept a placement for them at a facility which is not appropriate.
Their opinion now is that I should accept a place where they can be together, even though they can't share a room, will be in share rooms with four beds and no room for any memorabilia. The place is dementia specific which is fine. My mother especially is at that tender stage of alzheimers.She is still very social, has difficulty and is unsteady on her feet, and is absolutely devoted to my father , as is my father to her. I am trying to find a facility to prolong their love and relationship as long as possible, before the horrid disease takes another chapter of my mother and fathers life and memory which will impact on their relationship. The closure has stressed them enough...that is why placing them together where they can share a room is critical. Anything else will deteriorate their condition.
Anyway.....I will stand their ground, for their human rights to be together.
I am amazed at the complete lack of care for other humans that the owner of their facility has demonstrated. to give them one months notice and no support........
