Dickby,
I think it is great that you did bring your father-in-law over to Turkey to look after him, not many people would do that
I know what I'm talking about, because my mum who is 83 and has Parkinson, lives with me, I'm only working half-days and the other half of they day, somebody comes for 2 hours to look after her.
It is all allright when you manage to have a great regularity in your life, but all "special things" (like holidays, going out for a long time) are difficult
When I go on holiday (I do it twice a year for a week), my mum has to go to a nursery home, which she hates.
I did also think of hiring somebody , but then, I thought : is it really secure to leave my mum at home with a complete stranger (for her and for me)
I wish you luck with your search for a place for him, you should really go through with it...because it will get tougher by the years to do it
Take care, obviously I cannot be of any help with your search in Turkey....
