Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone else was feeling as lost as me. My 95 year old mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the end of June this year. Discharged from hospital with an emergency care package - which was very good. Since then I have had to find out most of what I know from forums and websites like this. No one told me that mum should have a CPN assigned to her. I haven't even been told as to what stage she's at. No appointments for follow ups for re-assessments. Nothing. How often should re-assessments take place?
Maybe a simple checklist as to contact names/support groups could have helped. Just feel so lost as to what mum may be missing out on. Feeling a bit despondent at the moment.
Look forward to receiving some advice.
Thanks & Regards, Jannette
