My wife is diagnosed with FTD with MND since March 22 and been in hospital since mid Sept 22. A section 3 has been issued. Her behaviours are challenging and therefore needs EMI specialise care for severe dementia. My wife is peg fed, still physically very able but dementia is the biggest challenge for now. I am visiting between 4 and 6 hours a day to feed her soup etc that she can still eat.
The authorities have come up with only one possible home so far that would accept her which having visited I rejected as it was run down , old and very tired. The thought of being forced into what I feel is an unacceptable option and my wife spending what remains of a very curtailed life span sickens me.
What can I do as dealing with my wife’s illness and all it’s implication is simply enough on its own and the thought of putting her into a nursing home I don’t feel is up to scratch is destroying me. We are in South Wales.
