Morning All,
Have just joined the forum. Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year and lives aline with her dog.
Wondering if anyone has any advice about to organise a regular assistant or carer for company, taking her to groups etc.
She's still quite independent but very anxious about going anywhere outside of her usual few places. I've been off work for a while and been able to take her to some groups like Singing for the Brain and she's loved them. But I won't be able to take her when I'm back at work.
Have applied for attendance allowance and an adult social care assessment but our family have absolutely no experience of carers etc and struggling to know where to start.
Many thanks in advance!
