Hi again!
So, My mum was diagnosed in February with Alzheimer’s. Last Tuesday she had a problem with a “blockage” in her bowels and ended up in hospital (she’s still there now)..
On Friday Occupational Therapy rang my dad to say she is being assessed for a “care package”.
What does this mean please? Does it mean help at home or they want her to go into a home?
Any advice on what to say/do/look out for/ask etc at this time would also be great! Dad is doing ok and I help him but something tells me now is the time to ask for help or should I be wary?
Thank you!
