Hi
GP referred my mam in October to the Memory Protection Service, someone came to the house to do a written/verbal test which she failed. She's had a CT head and been reviewed by the Neurosurgeon who found a benign meningioma and stated it was not causing her memory problems. We've had visits from OT who have put things in place for her such as an Alexa for her to video call us on, give her alerts to remember to lock the door etc. However, we have had no formal diagnosis I've spoken to the Memory Protection Service today who said she was not under their care and to try the Older Adult Community Treatment Team who I have just spoken to, and they suggested that I try the GP surgery as the Neurosurgeon would have written to the GP outlining any diagnosis and forms of treatment if any. Waiting for the GP to get in touch some time this week....
So, as it stands, I've hit a brick wall, can't believe how long it is taking. Part of me thinks do the OT's know what the diagnosis is as they are providing her with support and aids, would they do this without a diagnosis?
