My mum was diagnosed a couple of years ago with mixed dementia. She seems to be going down hill quite quickly, and we’re looking at registering POA with bank re finances. She finds it hard to have a simple conversation, or recognise who people are (apart from family). In short, I feel I need to accept things will get worse, and plan for the future.
She lives 30 miles from me and I am her only family in Scotland. So would anyone recommend getting her a flat near me? I can’t really move as am single mum to 3 kids who are at school, and I work 30 hours a week.
She is managing at home, which is neat and tidy. However, don’t think she is eating too well.
My brother in New York, and I were thinking it might be about time to try to get her a little help in her own home, so she gets used to this idea when she needs it. She did have a lady who cleaned and also looked after older people.
Could she get carers- of the type just to pop in for 10 minutes a couple of times a day to check on her?
I’m kind of on my own dealing with all this, so any advice appreciated.
