Hi,My Dad has Dementia 2/3 yrs approx? and in July i had invited the Altz Support Worker to see me ( Parents had no help only from Drs)As in all these meetings we talked about all Dads probs(and Mums)The main one was his unsafe driving(Mum think hes ok).the S Worker impressed on me to get the driving sorted.Phoned my sis (does not live in same town as us a long way off)after a long chat we agreed she would come to"chat" to Parents to try and get Dad to stop when she was away from work last month.She DID NOT COME for the "chat" !!!.Think possb she knew it was not going to be easy and wonder if she told me what she was going to do just to shut me up !!!To be fair on my sis when she does see them its for happy times eg moving in Lunch at her New Home etc and feels she never had the right time/moment, also she did have to go to work(HeadTeacher)
Has this type of thing happen in other families? Advice please on next step with my sis( not spoken to her since she back at work/dont want row with her.)
Dads driving probs sorted out soon GP going to have a talk with them cos me and my sis are v worried etc.Drs at Dementia Unit have been informed about unsafe driving ready for next Appt !!!.
Thanks for your help ( This is first time have ssked for help from Sis since Dad got Dementia thats whats hurting me) From Grove xx
