My husband has been in a nursing care home and a hospital for about 3 years now with dementia. I always visited him every other day, except for the weekend, as I am looking after everything at home by myself, and there is a lot to do outside and inside. I had to have cataract surgery, August 2nd and August 9th, so I haven't been able to visit him because of not being able to drive and looking after all the eye drops involved. Will this affect him that I haven't visited him for a while. I sure hope not.
Dementia damages the brain, he does not acknowledge or think like a person normally would.
He will be fine. Take the time for you to heal!
Speedy recovery OP :).
I assume you've told the staff why you're not there and they can reassure him that you're fine.
Are you able to speak to him on the phone?
