My mother has Alzheimer's, probably what most people would call mid-stage. She is currently still able to live alone in her little bungalow as my sister lives a couple of roads away and is her carer. She helps her every day and for the time being I think this arrangement will be fine.
However we have noticed mum's problems seem to be getting worse quite steadily. At some point we realise we will have to face looking at more full time care. She is currently housed by the local council and only recieves her state pension and disability living allowance and pension credit. Needless to say I dont think we will be able to afford a top notch private care home.
Can anyone please tell me the different options and where I can find more information on the net maybe. I've have found the addresses of some homes in her area but would just like to know from someone how it works?
Thanks for reading.
