We are now at the stage of looking for a suitable care home for Mum. We have been to several homes in the area, but having a few problem, Mum had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's and Vascular dementia just over 2 years ago, she is 87 years old and living in sheltered housing with support from carers and family, but we feel now she needs 24 hour care. We have been told by these care homes that as Mum has had a diagnosis for Alzheimer's she will need to go into an E.M.I registered home. We are experiencing a lack of this type of home in the Kent area and what we have seen so far we think are unsuitable for Mum, she doesn't wander but is very confused, has occasional mild delusions & occasional word salad.
