Hello; Hopefully I am posting in right place - first time posting.
Unfortunately my father had a what seems to be quite a severe hemorrhagic stroke a week ago. Whilst we are happy with the progress he has made so far and I am aware it is early days, I am not hopeful in the long term.
He appears to have quite a lot of brain damage - for example, he can’t go to the toilet on his own - doesn’t know really when he even needs it. Can speak but it’s garbled and he is confused; can’t follow simple instructions.
As it stands at the moment; there is no way my mother could look after him - she has her own health needs - I am at a loss to know what to do for the future and what the options are?
I’m assuming he will have to go into a care home of some sorts - can anyone guide me as to the options or contact someone in the ‘know’ so I can start preparing.
