Hi, my husband and I suspect that his brother has early onset dementia. We're after some guidance as he lives an hour's drive away from us and it's not sustainable for us to keep driving to him. We brought him to our house for a few days at Christmas which gave us a chance to get to know him better as he's always kept himself to himself. There's no diagnosis as yet but we did get him to agree to signing a letter to his gp informing him we were next of kin and he agrees we can be involved in any discussions. Sadly, we're not new to dementia/Alzheimer's as both our mums had it, hubby's sister is in a care home with it. We're both in our late 60s and really enjoy walking which we find is really helping us at the moment.
