Hello, and thanks for allowing me to join this forum.
My Mum is exhibiting dementia symptoms (forgetfulness, confusion), but has been reluctant to fill in the diagnosis/assessment forms.
Her Mum had Alzheimer's, and I think that Mum is worried that she might be getting the same. She has started to exhibit similar symptoms to her Mum.
I live a long way away, but will be visiting more often. My Dad is Mum's main carer, but he is finding it stressful, and he is older than her.
I'll be going to visit this month, and was wondering if anyone here can give me any hints or tips to make Mum and Dad's life less stressful?
Thanks in advance.
