Hi All, advise required please.
Can a spouse refuse to care? It is a very tricky situation with HD sufferer currently in respite care. NHS continuous care plan in place. However staying in care full time is not what the sufferer wants, although they don't understand anymore what this evolves. How do I get help to ensure his needs are best met? He needs to be in care home full time but it is against HIS human rights to force him. Nobody can cope anymore and he's not getting the care he needs at home.
Please advise if you have been in similar situation maybe with Dementia or similar illness.
