Hello
It has been a wile since I posted. My mum has alzheimers and has been in a care home since Jan 17. Over the past 2 /3 months mum has almost stopped eating, apart from the odd biscuit or chocolate. Mum has also started refusing her meds - we can't hide them in her food as she isn't really eating any! Obviously she is now losing weight and is very frail and unsteady.
What can be done?Has anyone else been through this? Mum is described by her gp as having advanced alzheimers.
I suspect the end is coming but how do you know?
Any advice would be great. Thanks
