Hi
I am new to this forum and wondering if anyone can offer any advice please? My father who is 75 has recently been diagnosed with dementia - however we have not been given any more information than that about his condition or what help is available. He is mainly cared for by my mum, who is 73 and I am becoming increasingly worried for both of them (I actually think my dad has been suffering from dementia for about two years prior to diagnosis). CPNs, doctors etc all promise to get more info for us on the diagnosis, any treatment or help, memory clinic, day centres etc but no one ever comes back with anything. I feel like Dad has been dumped back on mum with no support. I help as much as I can but I have two young children and a full time job. Can anyone give me any help or advice please? Would really really appreciate. Thank you.
