My Dad had to be placed into a nursing home in June. It was the hardest decision we have ever had to make. Initially we had windows visits and the odd garden visit. To now no contact at all...I can not tell you how heartbreaking it is, it’s torture not being able to even sit across a table from him. My Dad has deteriorated a lot since being in the home, he is a man who wants to be near his family. My Mum has really struggled with Dad going into a home let alone not having any contact.
