Hello everyone,
I hope someone can give me some advice as I am feeling very bewildered and upset with this situation as I have never experienced this before and am at my wits ends and don't know where to turn.
My Father is 82 and has Alzheimer's I'm not sure what stage he has as I don't know how we find this out? He is becoming very difficult and unpredictable and hardly sleeps, he wakes up at all hours and gets ready to go out. He's also becoming quite aggressive and has problems with incontinence.
He lives with his partner of 25 years Dorothy and she is near to cracking up and is not coping at all well. I really need some advice on where we can turn and who can help us, I don't want to think of him going into a home although I know this is inevitable eventually, can we get help with care at home?
Please can someone just give me some general advice and point me in the right direction and possibly advise of what to expect in the future?
