Had a call from Dad and SM last night: they are now nicely settled in the care home, where they are set to spend up to the next ten weeks, while all the floors in their flat are ripped up.
They had a pipe burst over six months ago which the contractor has been unable to adequately deal with. Due to his dementia Dad has been finding it particularly upsetting and unsettling. Now the contractor thinks the only solution is to empty the flat and dig up all the concrete floors, replace the pipework then put everything back. So off they have been packed to a residential care home. Simple LOL.
I hope they will get a taste for this life- no worries about preparing meals, laundry etc and knowing there is always someone on call should they need assistance. Maybe once the flat is sorted they might be encouraged to sell up..?
