Hi, I’m brand new here but need to speak to someone who knows how I feel. My Dad hasn’t been officially diagnosed with dementia but shows a lot of the symptoms. He is currently in a state of confusion after being out wandering last night - I got a phone call from
Community alarm people at 4.05 saying he had left the house. He managed to lock himself out and luckily I found him.
Today he does t know what went on and doesn’t realise he is in his own home. Likelihood he will be a lot better in a few days but each one of these confused episodes is now getting worse than the last.
I need to get some more help and support to get mum Dad out as I do what I can, he also has 4 carers a day but him sitting in all day every day doesn’t seem to help him as you can imagine?? Any suggestions for support, I’m in the North East of Scotland.
Many thanks in advance,
Aly
