On a Monday afternoon my Mother visits a local church with my wife for an afternoon of singing with people who are facing the same issues and their carers.
On a Wednesday per month they have a non food shopping trip , whilst on a Thursday they have a food shopping trip with lunch afterwards.
Friday my Mam goes to a daycare centre who provide lunch and trips out in a minibus to either coast or country and then activities in the afternoon or when the weather is inclement.
On either a Saturday or Sunday we both take her out for the day or if possible for the weekend to our caravan around an hours drive away.
Mam then tells a relative who lives 3000 miles away in Canada and calls regularly that she is "Totally Housebound" and never gets out of her flat.
These are the times when I find it difficult and so frustrating.
