Dear All,
My 80 year old mum has recently been diagnosed with moderate Alzheimers. She lives alone and currently is managing with short visits from carers during the week, but longer term my wife and I are considering becoming the main carer and moving into her house (which is larger than ours!) with our 2 kids, for as long as needed.
I would just be really interested in hearing from anyone with experience of this 3 generation idea, and whether it can work? The only other option I can envisage is a (expensive) care home.
