My 83 yrs old undiagnosed husband answered the call and passed me on. The police reported him to the social services as he was picked two weeks ago at 6am by patrol. At the same time they picked him up I reported him missing. He has no recollection of the incidence, short term memory very poor. When do social services get involved? At the moment he is highly functional with activities of daily living and his usual household chores like washing up, putting rubbish ready for collection etc. At night he gets very anxious about home security and confused. I told her he is on waiting list for memory clinic and there is a 9 months waiting list and whether she could help to speed it up, she said no. Am going to speak to gp to give a mild sedative at night, he is also getting confused between day and night although I have got two dementia clocks, I remind him to check. Social services said she will write me with all the details in case I need support later on. All I need now for him to be seen quicker in the memory clinic, sedation as required and a ct scan. Can I ask GP for a ct scan or does it need to be requested by memory clinic? It’s so hard as he is not aware of his memory issues and his behaviour at night. I do not want to make a big issue out of it as he will refuse to attend any appointment. The word dementia freaks him up. Do not know how to handle the situation. He can get verbally aggressive and threatening if I say the wrong word. Thanks for reading.
