Hello.This is my first post.I have worked with people with dementia in my job but now help to care for my father with the help of outside carers.He cannot walk except with the help of a gutter frame and either me beside him or 2 carers.But these days it is getting more difficult.He was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2016 and I have had LPOA since then.He has a permanent catheter and now an ulcer on his leg.He is diabetic but food and pill controlled.The doctor has said that I need to talk with him about care homes.I already know the answer to that.Dad has always been very rigid in his outlook.He has to go to the toilet with the help of a Sara steady which is a great help,as he refuses to use a commode..His CKD levels have gone down to 40.I didn’t realise that this was connected with dementia.Amazing the things you find out.Thanks for listening.
