I'm 37 and caring for my mum who is 74. My uncle showed signs of Dementia in 2015 and he got taken into a care home last year. His older brother who is 82 got taken into one earlier this year. I am still living at home with my Mum. A care package has not yet been put in place. This is now the fourth month. I would like to move out but she doesn't want to be living in the house on her own. Also, I had to deal with horrible bullying neighbours for the past few years and I feel if I'm nearly destroyed because of it. I haven't been fit to go to work since 2019.
I asked the social worker how long will it take for my mum to get into respite. He said he needs to speak to his manager and it's not that simple. I told the nurse a couple of weeks ago to make it permanent as we want to sell this house. I just wish they will hurry up as I'm fed up with still waiting. My mum's health is deteriorating. I find it difficult to deal with her behaviour. I cooked her eggs for her dinner the other day, which she ate. Later she told me she thought she hadn't eaten then she cooked more and eat them. I don't know how much longer I will have to deal with this. She has become too dependent on me now.
