I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything. I mentioned it in another post of mine, but got no response on this issue (lots of help on other issues, which I am grateful for )
Is there anyone who has experience caring for someone with dementia from another culture? I know in our culture use of outside carers and care homes is frowned upon for people who have children who can look after them. Just wondering if anyone else is facing this problem. My Mum has Vascular Dementia, and at the moment I'm looking after her at home, but struggling.
Is there any data about other ethnicities accessing support from Alzheimers Society/Social Services, etc.
Thanks in advance
