My mother in law, who has struggled with short term memory issues and was diagnosed with terminal cancer in September, has taken a sudden turn for the worse. The cancer support team have been brilliant and arranged emergency admission to a highly recommended nursing home for end of life care described as likely to be "weeks to short months".
She'll have family visiting at weekends and a son who can pop over in an emergency. But it feels a real rush sorting her out for Monday.
I've thought about labelling clothes and making sure they are comfy and easy care. Obviously she'll need toiletries, hearing aid batteries, medication. Her knitting and a book, though she might not be up to either. Some cash. Some sweet treats.
We're also thinking about house security, bins etc.
Anything we might have forgotten? Anyone been through it and can tell us what you wish you'd known before?
Thanks.
