Well, yes ok it did get dementia on air, but it left me dissatisfied. I didn’t understand what the set-up was. How much personal care was needed and who provided it? The only ‘hands-on’ care the sons were seen to provide was a half-hearted attempt to trim the Father’s beard.
It seemed to me they were asking for our sympathy because they had to sit there while their father swore at them. There are many on here for whom that would be a walk in the park.
The very real problems of living with dementia were simply not addressed. Instead of the usual portrayal of dementia being lovable old folk with mild memory problems, now it's lovable old folk swearing at you.
