Hi my mum was diagnosed with mixed dementia, vascular and Alzheimer’s in August 2022, the deterioration has been rapid. We’ve moved mum & dad closer to us so we can help out. Both are 77yrs old, dad really struggling now. Mum also has spinal stenosis which impacts mobility. This week further deterioration where her legs cannot take her weight and just give way. Carers twice a day, they have asked for an urgent moving and handling assessment as one can no longer manage to shower her. Dad tried his best and I am there daily to help change pads etc as incontinent. Mum rarely speaks now although I can still make her smile which melts my heart. She would never want to be in a care home but I don’t know how much longer we can cope. She’s had many falls, now unable to stand on her own but I worry every night about dad putting her to bed. I’m always waiting for the phone to ring. Trying to juggle full time management job and caring and trying to protect dad but just don’t know how much longer we can manage.
