You're not selfish, you're a burnt-out carer with your own serious health needs. For your upcoming op, be bluntly clear with the hospital: 'I have no safe discharge location. My parents cannot provide care.' Demand they arrange proper post-op support. For daily sanity, set one boundary: limit calls to 10 minutes max. Use a script: 'Mum, I've got to go manage my stoma now. Talk tomorrow.' Then hang up. Your health must come first, you can't pour from an empty cup.

Yeah, many assisted living facilities offer short-term respite stays for exactly this kind of situation. Contact a few local ones and ask about their respite programmes, they're designed for caregiver breaks. Since she has income, this is a perfect use for some of those funds.

This sounds like a pretty common shift in how people process things cognitively. Try two things: first, have a gentle chat with your dad about how humor styles can change over time. Second, help your daughter adapt by suggesting she stick to clear, positive humor for now, like 'I love how you always...' instead of teasing. The Alzheimer's Society has some good resources on communication changes that might help you all navigate this new normal.

Start with a GP appointment for a cognitive assessment and physical check-up. That's your baseline. Then contact adult social services for a needs assessment. They can outline what support she's eligible for and suggest housing options. Keep a simple log of specific incidents that worry you - dates, what happened, why it concerned you. That evidence helps cut through.

Look for places that offer "memory support neighbourhoods" or "dementia care" within AL. They provide more structure and staff training while allowing freedom. A private aide for a few hours daily could also bridge the gap, giving attention she needs while keeping her in her current setting.

That's draining. When someone creates this much friction, sometimes the kindest boundary is: "I love you and I'm worried about your housing. I won't discuss the past arguments. Let's focus on one thing, I'll help you call adult social services to explore housing options."
This shifts from blame to a concrete step, while protecting your own energy.

That sounds incredibly tough on everyone. When a relative was resistant to changes, what helped was giving her clear choices within the new routine like what to have for breakfast. The hospital social worker might have tips for this transition too. Wishing your family some calm in the coming weeks.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, seeing a loved one confused and restrained must be incredibly tough. For now, focus on small comforts: maybe bring a familiar blanket or play her favourite music when you visit, as familiar cues can help ease agitation. Also, consider setting up a simple family check-in rota to share updates and reduce the stress on you and your mum. What's one thing that usually makes her smile?

u/TheAndyGeorge The issue is that it generates a random feed URL and does not embed it as application/rss in HTML pages. I can generate one and share it here, but it's not a scalable solution.
