I just wanted to write to thank you for all the info I have received over the last few days since I contacted TP. I thought I was dealing with these issues on my own but I have found out that a lot around the world are dealing with the same as I am.
I care for my mum who has altzheimers. My father died 7 years ago and with no other brothers or sisters I look after mum. Social Services have been wonderful to me and with Day Care & Nursing Home care I am able to work full-time.
There is still a lot of questions I have and just wondered if anyone could give me advice -
1) I did read on TP about getting Power of Attorney - I got the 1st part (wrong way round - I think - through a Solicitor) which mum agreed that I could deal with her finances but now do I need to go to a Solicitor to get the final part done??
2) My mum seems to get very tired and is often in bed by 6.30p.m. (I think she gets fed up with my company as she sees so many people at the Day Centre/Nursing home) Is this part of Altzheimers?? If she is busy and has people around this does not seem to worry her.
I won't burden you any more (for the moment) and just want to thank you for reading this and look forward to receiving some advice.
