Moving to a care home with dementia

This is a post on the Demention blog, about a male carer and family looking after a mother with early onset dementia. This is about moving into a care home, the doubts, decisions and eventual success. It shows what can be valuable about care home care, although it does not discuss directly some of the disadvantages of a move with dementia that professionals might raise. However, here it is being done at a fairly early stage of the patient's progression, and it shows what efforts were made to connect her with her life history.
