Hi, My mum lives an hour away from me at the moment and I Am her only daughter we lost my Dad 6 years and shortly after this she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The heartbreaking truth is that I don’t feel like I ever got to grieve for my Dad passing away as my Mum didn’t cope very well and here we are now 6 years on and now mid way through Alzheimer’s. She lives in a warden controlled flat at present owned by the Cathedral and 2 weeks ago on my Father In Laws funeral I had a letter from the cathedral basically saying that they’d heRd reports of Mum very confused knocking on doors and wondering early in the morning etc.. due to this they felt she could no longer stay where she was and I had to find her a home.
She was 70 on Sunday she doesn’t know she has to move and will be heartbroken I don’t know how to tell her. As social services are funding and she is class3d as an emergency they want to place her locally to where she lives even to the point I had a phone call to say they will take her tomorrow. I’m really struggling with all this and can’t get my head round how quickly this has com3 about. I work full time and have 2 small children. I have looked locally by me for homes but a lot don’t have any beds. It’s just so sad all of it.
