My brother and I are struggling with ways to support our dad 84, who cares for mum 82 with dementia. I visit once a week, take meals, clean and do washing as i work and live in a different area of the county. My brother visits at least once a day. Dad does all of mums personal care, feeding etc and is alert 24/7 for fear of her falling. He could not do or love her anymore. However he has started to be physically hurt when she gets aggressive and stubborn. We got a carer in to do personal care for a week initially but at the end of the week dad changed it to 3 times a week saying he could cope.He now wants to reduce it again saying mum doesn't like it. We have suggested clubs but dads response is mum wont like it. How do you stand by and watch the carer struggling when they wont change? Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.
