Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can advise on care / support that is still attainable in the UK?
My Dad has dementia and my Mum (in her 70s) is at home caring for him. He's got pretty bad and she has no support. I live overseas with my family and while I'm trying to get back asap, it's hard right now to support her. Her biggest problem is that he is up throughout the night, refusing to go back to bed - she's got severe sleep deprivation and I'm scared of the toll it's taking on her, and what might happen next.
Any advice on options? It doesn't have to be through the NHS.
Thanks so much.
