hi there i am new to this so if i get it wrong i am sorry,
my dad has alzheimers and my mum is the main carer, they manage quite well but that is providing my mum does not leave dad alone, if she goes out even for a short while she always comes home to a disaster.
I try to help as much as i can but i have a 3 year old daughter and work full time so it is hard to be there when needed, my mum needs some coping mechanisms so that she doesnt freak out every time she comes home to the inevitable disaster!!
I work with people with dementia type illness but its easy to give advise when you dont have to live with it 24/7. can anyone offer any tips.
