Hi everyone,

Good news, had another review today with the home and they have agreed
to put dad's move on hold. There have been no aggressive incidents in
the last three months and they have said he can stay.

I know I will be in the same position again but for now the pressure
is off. A new manager has taken over and hopefully things will get
better as I always said the problem was not with the staff but the
management.

I am really glad as social work contacted 20 homes and nobody wanted
to take him.

We are now pushing social work to provide someone who can be-friend
dad a couple of days a week to take him to the park or just spend some
quality time with him. This would relieve the bordeom and get him out
more. It is amazing that social work provide the same amount of
funding for someone who is able and can get out on their own to
someone like dad who needs 24-7 care. Obviously dad needs more one to
one care than someone who can do things for themselves. However, it
is all down to money at the end of the day, but we will try.

Take care all

Ann
