I just got paper work for Laguna Honda Hospital my kids dad has dementia i cant take it no more, going to have social worker and doctors fill it out, i don't want to deal with this mess anymore,my kids come first not him, even with meds its not working at all for him. I am looking into respite care and I am going all the way with it and he knows that and he hates me for doing that to him oh well, putting my kids first over him. People with dementia does not comprehend in what is happening to them when speaking to the person he gets upset for doing this to them and you have to repeat yourself over and over again not worth it. I am going forward need a break went to laguna honda hospital talk to the head person who dealt with him before told me to fill out paper work ASAP and get it in and get him on the list.

Unless you are excellent at debate, you won't. Sounds like he needs a DPOA to make decisions FOR him. Whether it be a sister, brother, whomever. Talk to his family and tell them about the problem. It's not safe for him to be home alone if he can't even remember going to the doc.

Go "to" respite care? Why not have someone come into the home, then maybe he won't be frustrated by being displaced during the time. Many home care companies have individuals who specialize in care of Dementia patients.
