Mum was only diagnosed in April 2018 with AD but has deteriorated quickly since then. My sister and I have tried to manage caring for her between us but Mum spends too much time on her own. She lives in sheltered housing and her anxiety, confusion and distress has become so bad that in the last 3/4 weeks she has barely left her flat. We are in the process of arranging carers to go twice a day 5 days a week. My sister and I can only visit once a week each as we don’t live locally. In the last few days we have started to worry that the carers visits will not be sufficient.
We don’t want to think about the other option but when do you know it’s the right time to start looking at care homes ??? She told me today she’s had enough and can’t go on any longer !!
