Hello Helen:
Re Crossroads: They have had an office in Bakewell for 1/2 yrs - we have even contributed towards their charity events. But, guess what, its out of our area.
Help the Aged work around us, but David is no longer 'suitable' for their sitters Admiral Nurses work in Manchester district. Our local Alz. Society office has a very good Organiser/Administrator but her role seems to be advisory; she does not visit. I only see her if we go to the Alz. cafes and now David is virtually homebound that is impossible.
So lovely though the High Peak is, it seems out of bounds when help is needed for Dementia sufferers.
My main help comes from the local surgery and from the Mental Health Ward where David goes for respite. Also, thank God for good friends.
Love Jan
