Hello!

[SarahJC]

Hi, just wanted to say hello and how this forum is so helpful to me - helps shake me out of the doldrums at times - when I feel … well whatever. Has recently gone up a notch with the care required for my mother, my lovely mother who always put everyones needs above her own, mine and my sisters ‘rock’ but now to such challenging at times. Am lucky to share care with my sister, which I know am fortunate but what with working, living with my mum 50% of the time and back to my family hubby, 2 sons (but adults)! it’s challenging but I know could be worse. Hoping for adult social care to assess us soon to get some care in for basic needs I the morning - bye for now Sarah

Hi @SarahJC and welcome to posting on Dementia Support Forum. This is a great place to ask questions, join conversations, find support and helpful suggestions and to let off steam. I wish you all the best in supporting your mother. A needs assessment is a good place to start in planning for her future care needs.
