I have seen a number of posts describing an Alzheimer's Befriender. How do you get one of these? It seems obvious but is it just a question of contacting your local society. By the way my mum has now stopped looking after herself, not bothering to eat properly, goes to bed early, and cries a lot. Is on medication for depression but it doesn't seem to be working. Dad is still in the assessment unit and is NEVER coming back to the house to live but mum is convinced he is. Every time she visits she asks different members of staff "when can I take him home" and every time the answer is the same "he's not coming home" which of course upsets her, then she forgets and then the next day asks the same question again. Sorry I seem to have strayed off the path a bit. Is there anyone out there who knows if there is some sort of test children can have to see if they will be prone to AD as it now appears to be well and truly in the family?
Dad did not even know it was Father's Day even though we all gave cards which he told us to take back with us.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
