Hi all,
Sorry if this is long. I don't know how to help/if there's any careers who are specially for people with Alzheimer's?
Hoping someone knows what I can do to help. I live ,1 1/2 hours away from my gran currently and I visit every Saturday however I think she needs more support but my uncle (live three hours away) and mum (outside the uk traveling) are not helping and think careers would confuse her and she's not bad enough to be moved into a home.
I feel like they are waiting for her to become so bad that she's unable to keep up a conversation then move her to a home. However I think she need more help now as she's struggling to do little things like laundry, hurts herself (e.g. broke a milk bottle) and forgets, calls me thinking everyone's dead (especially when my mum's unable to pick up her calls due to bad signal) and one resident in the over 50s block of flats sent my mum an angry email to her saying she not coping too.
Please can someone advise?
I've looked into moving closer to her but it's an expensive area and l'd lose my job/relationship (as my other half still lives at home and I wouldn't ask him to move and quit his job) both of which I love and I don't want to confuse her by moving her closer to me? But I want to be able to take care of her and no one else seem to / seems to be able to.
