My dad has just passed away and he used to look after my mum who has early onset dementia.
Myself and brother are currently looking after her but have to go back to work soon
An assessment has been done and said she needed someone in the morning to prepare and make sure she has breakfast and help her get washed and ready for the day and to give her the medication and also in the evening
The problem is they have said the earliest anyone can get there is 10.30 so by the time she gets to eat breakfast it will be 11am!
Surely this isn't right! This doesn't help at all as it's not fair that she has to wait until then because they don't have enough staff
Has anyone else encountered this? Is this just the way it is!? Seems like they aren't to bothered and it's just like it or lump it
My mum has already lost a lot of weight as has no appetite so really need to make sure she eats and eating at 11 is too late as nearly lunch time so she will end up skipping a meal
She can't prepare herself breakfast and also need someone there to make sure she eats it
Sorry for the rant just gobsmacked as there seems to be no help!
