Taken Mum for her diagnosis appointment this morning and she has been diagnosed with mixed alzheimers and mized vascular dementia. We have been advised to have carers in as mum lives alone. do an LPA and think about assisted living. Mum doesnt think we need any help but we are hoping she will come to terms with having some help. She has been having regular infections which seem to add to her confused. I feel relieved that we have an acutal diagnosis now as this has been going on for quite a while. It has still come as a shock though.
