I need help to find a physio or another expert who can teach my husband a few simple motor skills.I am just settling in my role as a carer for my husband. He has come out of his confusion state. His short term memory doesn’t cause me as much of problem. We are in a much better place now.
My husband was having problems with walking, getting out of bed and getting in and out of bed following a fall in Oct 2020 that led to bleeding of the brain. The bleeding of the brain resulted in diagnosis of Alzheimers.
We had a great support from Alzheimers Wiltshire and continue to have their support.
I referred my husband to a private Physio. I must admit his walking has improved. He is better getting out of bed though a little improvement is still needed. He is still experiencing difficulties in experiencing in getting out of the car.
He had to relearn to move around. I had to demonstrate how he should be walking for example. I can’t find a way of teaching him to get out of the car. I believe a physio or someone who works with physical disabilities could do better. Why am I making a fuss? It is my perception that Dementia patients are not given the help needed with motor skills. All of us in this forum want our loved ones to have as good a life as is possible. I will have to accept inevitability. How can I find the help I need for my husband?
Shouldn’t there be a six monthly review on Alzheimers patients?
