MIL doesn't have "carers" but we can't be far from that stage. Home help does washing up, cleaning, ironing etc.
We have frozen ready meals delivered to her freezer but she never uses them. I have despaired about how to get her to eat them.
During this hot summer I have chilled out a little, filling her fridge with what I call "picnic" foods which I think she enjoys grazing on. And they require no cooking.
Tomorrow she starts a luncheon club, where she is provided with a hot meal, she's being picked up by the minibus at 9.00am which she assures us she will be ready for
Usually when we ring her at 10.00am to remind her about her meds she is still in bed.
Tomorrow is her 86th Birthday. When I asked her to check her diary so she can see she has luncheon club she didn't recognise the date as her Birthday. This is sad. We'll visit her in the evening with cards & flowers.
