I hope it's ok to start a thread for advice.
Mum will be 85 in January. Was sent to the memory clinic after I took her to the doctors after her confusion started.
Before that the last time she went to the doctors was in 1973. At the moment she can, dress, wash and feed herself.
Keeps the house clean. Even gardens occasionally.
But thinks my dad is at work (died in 2001) thinks all the DGC are at school (in their 30's)
doesn't remember that she has GGC. Lots of other things that are strange.
In the next week we at last will be getting a proper diagnosis of her condition.
Her mind is all over the place we have POA for health and finance.
We had to take control of her money as she was walking around town with £1000 in her purse
as she couldn't remember how much things cost.
There is my 2 brothers who live near her and me but i live a distance away.
Older brother does shopping, younger brother calls in on the way home from work, I phone every night
and try to visit every month, I also make sure her bills are all paid.
What else should I help her do to make life easier/safer.
Thanks.
