Hi all, mum has mixed dementia and has completely stopped eating. She still drinks but is so weak now we struggle to get her to the toilet and back. My dad, her partner is 75 and it’s killing him trying to hold her up, lift her etc. she’s just a dead weight and no help as she has no strength.
I don’t know where to start in trying to get help for us, I don’t want her to suffer and I don’t really want her in a home. I know that’s probably not going to be a choice In the long run.
who do I contact first? GP, Memory service, social services?
Can someone help?
