Spot on. Instruggled to get my father into a nursing home. He had home care and the nurses couldnt get him to shower and he refused to change clothes, accused them of stealing, threatened suicide, so we put him in respite care until the docgors signed him off as lacking capacity. We went in to prepare his unit (apartment) for sale. It smelled of urine. I found a bucket hidden under a box full of urine, when inopened his wardrobe all his clothes were mouldy including shoes, he had been peeing in there. When we moved the couch he was lifting a cushion and peeing in a hole in the fabric. We basically threw everything away and got special cleaners in to do a forensic clean. We didnt get onto this sooner because Victoria was in lock down through covid and we wernt allowed into the State. Utter discgrace
