My 73 year old sister has memory problems which has deteriorated but I can't get her to raise with GP
Our Mum had vascular dementia and my sister was the main carer and we both understand the condition. I had noticed her short term memory was not great and I have tried to persuade her to raise with GP and she will say she will but then make excuses when I ask how she got on. She has expressed a wish she will not go into a care home. With covid, visits are now more telephone conversations. I live 250 miles away and it is very difficult to support. I have her visiting me this year and although I talk to her on phone realise her short term memory is worse than I realised. She will constantly put this down to her age. How do i contact her GP who I don't know and given surgeries have set up contact now mostly online.
