Hi everyone.
I'm new here but after living with my Gramps for over 2 years now I feel I need somewhere I can talk to others in my situation.
I was just wondering if anyone else has experience of the PWD seeming much better when people are visiting? I find it so frustrating that my family come over and spend a few hours with Gramps and leave saying how good he seems when I spend so much time thinking how much worse he is!
I am in a fortunate situation now that we have as residential carer with us full time as I am in full time work and could now cope with that and the constant getting up 4/5 times overnight.. but I still don't think they see how bad he is getting!
