Pensioner still separated fom wife
I can't believe this is still going on , Is there no-one in a position of authority able to step in and sort this out . Wheres the local MP on this ?, in my mind the human rights of this couple are more important than some sodding foriegn terrorists in Cuba .
As I said when this story was in the news months ago the names and pictures of the social workers involved in this tragedy (and it is a tragedy) should be posted in every shop window in Hyndburn http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/.0.just_give_me_back_my_wife.php |

Re: Pensioner still separated fom wife
You have to look at all aspects of the case. Its hard looking after someone with dementia and its right the social workers should look closely at the situation.

Re: Pensioner still separated fom wife
He may believe he is capable of looking after her but perhaps he isn't. How do we know? He may be an ex-para but he's 88 years old. I'm nowhere near that and I wouldn't like to try looking after someone with dementia. I know someone who was in the exact opposite position and had to plead for a residential place for her husband who has dementia. He kept "escaping" from home and getting into all kinds of danger.
Many years ago an elderly lady with dementia who lived near us burned herself to death.  I often used to find her wandering about the streets bcause she had forgtten where she lived. Every time took her home she woud ask me where I lived and if I'd had to go a long way out of my way. She hadn't a clue who I was. We often used ta say she shoud be in a home where someone would keep an eye on her.Perhaps the real tragedy of this case is that the gentleman can't be in the same home as his wife but there is no room for him there. I found this part of the report partiularly sad Quote:
