Hello all,
My mother was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in January and as she does not have a partner my sister and brother have taken it upon ourselves to look after her the best we can. It's already getting challenging but we really wanted to bring her away on a family holiday to Portugal in June to give her something to look forward to - and also give everyone the opportunity to have some good times while it's still possible.
Does anyone have experience of bringing a loved one away on holiday? Are we being overly ambitious to attempt this? She is already beginning to have issues managing going to the toilet and gets very tired from walking too much amongst other things so are we being unrealistic thinking we can do this?
