My Mum had her CT scan results from January today and as suspected she has vascular dementia. She was given the option of Memantine which is obviously an unknown to us. A nurse service will be offered to her for a year for support, guidance and advice. I know this sounds grim but I think that my Mum is pretty late to be diagnosed as she is very confused quite often, sometimes imagines things like visitors, shows anger and aggression, other times perfectly lucid and aware of what’s happening. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to further reading about it other than the generic handout you get from Alzheimer’s Society? I realise there’s no one size fits all scenario but I’m just trying to get more of a handle on things.
