Dear All
Thought that I would Introduce myself - My name is Claire and I am 28 years old and my Nan has suffered from Alzheimers for about 6-7 years, but has been detoriating badly since we lost my Grandad 5 years ago.
She has been in a normal nursing home for about 2 years but we have since been told that they can't look after her now and she has been moved to a private home at a huge amount of money each week for her care.
It's heartbreaking and really hard as she doesn't know who I am anymore - and i find it really heartbreaking to see her and it upsets me every time that I see her.
I feel that joining this forum - I can learn / and give support from people in the same situation - it's good to know that there is always some one to talk to especially in a forum, when you sometimes feel that you can't talk to your family (because you don't want to upset them) and friends (who don't understand what your going through)
Sorry to ramble on,
Looking forward to meeting new friends
Regards
Claire
