I was looking for some advice as I am concerned. my father has a carer who has been looking after him and previously my mum ( she passed away 2 years ago) .
He is very close to her which I understand, but I feel she encourages this with inappropriate behaviour. For example, she will sit very close, let him put his arm round her and stroke her back .
He has got so reliant and dependent on her , even said he would rather not come to a wedding unles she came and sat with him .
My children think it’s all a bit odd and I’ll be honest I don’t trust her . But others think I am just being paranoid and as long as he is happy I should let it be.
There must be professional guidelines for Carers?
Has anyone else had similar problems, I can’t be unique in this
