Hi I'm new to all this.
Although my mother was diagnosed at 91 she managed in her own home until 3 years ago ( she is almost 98) mum had to be admitted to a care home when she began falling,forgetting to eat and losing track of day and night. For a while she picked up but just recently she has fallen many times and had broken bones and admissions to hospital. She is now refusing food and says she wants to die. I recently asked for a copy of mum's care plan and was told i couldn't have one. I also asked for a meeting to review her care plan in light of her (and my) obvious distress nd was asked why i felt the need for this.
Is it me? Am I out of order? I was and still am her main carer.
I am at a loss what to do next
