Hi,
I am here as my mother 89 was diagnosed with vascular dementia last May - she did not have a brain scan but consultant psychiatrist diagnosed her.
I'm trying to look after my mother at home. We have a care package in place & we employ private carers too.
It costs £4,000 per month.
I'm waiting for a review with my mothers social worker as the care package we have in place is no longer suiting my mothers needs.
The carers say my mothers mobility is deteriorating & they are unable to help her to get out of bed. They say she needs to get herself out of bed which I think is ridiculous.
My mother has beed refusing to get up from bed, I think this is due to the struggle she's having & the carers not helping her.
I'm so fed up with the situation & I'm hoping SW can suggest more suitable care agency or personal assistant.
This is such a hard thing to deal with.
My very best wishes to you all.
Sharin
