We are heartbroken as a close loving family not been able to see our mom,nan!we never wanted mom in a care home and never thought the day would ever come.Her dementia got worse after suffering a broken hip she went for rest bite.We realised that she needed more care than we could give her to keep her safe.We thought that putting her close by to where we lived was the best thing as we visited every day or night as she was so used to seeing us.she and us miss each other so much.heartbreaking
