Hello,

[Under a Cloud]

My husband has Dementia which started to notice around 6 years ago when we were on a work visa in NZ.
We only managed to get an actual diagnosis 18 months ago even though we had to both given up work four years ago to cope. He is 68 years young.
The Dementia is now in the middle to late stages and needs 24 hour care which is given by myself with assistance from my daughter when possible.
I am 65 years old.
Pleased to meet all you hard working Carers and friends and family of Dementia.
