Hello
I’ve just joined as I’m looking for any advice to help my dad. My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2016. Health wise she is physically well, though has a lot less energy and stamina. During lockdown, we’ve been unable to give my dad much support. We live in the same street and do shopping, cooking and regularly contact him. Recently my mum keeps “packing” she thinks she is on holiday, obviously realising that things are different. Every day my dad has to unpack everything she plans to take home. We initially thought this was sweet and meant mum was happy, if she thought she was on holiday. It’s really frustrating my dad, so I wondered if anyone had had any similar experiences and offer any advice I could give my dad?
