Hi everyone.
my mum has dementia and i am her full time carer, she has lived with me for the past two years. I am fed up of being assessed and receiving no help. I did ask for a day center for her and we were given a two hour session in one that is local, as soon as we walked in she wanted to get out, but i convinced her to stay and i had to stay with her, the second time she was not happy to go, and a situation occured where i had to leave her for almost an hour. On my return my mum was sitting in the same chair on her own, and not one of the staff was urging her to take part in anything. Needless to say my mum will not go back now and has not helped trying to get her in another.
I have people coming into our home telling us we can have this and she can have that, but it never materialises. I am just so fed up and angry, I am now waiting to hear if my mum can go to a place for respite, {but wait} we have to be assessed again. I feel like everything is a waste of time.
