JoyceLlynn Asked September 2017

My husband is so attached but I'm getting sick, how can I place him in a nursing home when he says no?

I'm 77 and he is 87 with dementia.

You need help from other people, Joyce. Talk to your GP/PCP, or find out where you can get in touch with a social workers who can support you in making decisions both for yourself and for your husband's care.

You can't do this alone, and you can't do nothing either - if your health is already being affected by looking after your poor husband, then eventually it will give way and you will both be in trouble.

Best of luck, please keep us up to date with how you're getting on.
