Hello, my dad has early onset dementia which seems to be deteriorating fairly rapidly. He lives some distance from me and my Mum is caring for him at home. He goes to day clubs four times a week, but my mum is finding it increasingly harder to cope with - they are both still under 70 years old and it was very unexpected. The doctors have mentioned respite, and looking to the future there is obviously a possibility that residential care will be needed. My dad has always dealt with their finances and they have both worked hard and own their own home and have some savings. My dad also has full medical care from his job before he left. We have asked the company for an idea of anything they would cover in terms of care and they will only talk about the current situation. It is causing y mum a lot of stress and anxiety as she doesn't know who to talk to about what would be covered from local services or savings or private healthcare - it is making everything in the future very uncertain. Who could help give us some answers - are there any agencies/forums of people who aare in similar situations?
Thanks
Thanks
