Hi,
My mum is 83 and currently has middle stage dementia. She lives alone with the support of carers who provide 5 hours of help per day which is invaluable as I live 80 miles away. I’m in regular contact with them. I have found an Echo Show to be invaluable as it allows me to see and speak to mum several times a day.
My brother, who lives locally to mum, has installed a Ring Doorbell and Hive heating controller which mum has paid for. Despite numerous requests he refused to give me shared access to these - no reasons given. From a safeguarding viewpoint it would be so beneficial to have access to the ring doorbell particularly. For example last week the carers phoned me to ask where mum was - she wasn’t at home and wasn’t answering her phone. Her sister had taken her out but it took a while to work this out which was concerning. With the Ring doorbell alerts I would have known. Is there anything I can do or say to persuade my brother that it is in mums best interests for both of us to have this information?
Thanks
