Hi
I gave up my job to look after my 92 year old nan who has dementia, I have been caring for her for a year.
Recently her condition has worsened and as well as wandering around during the day due to her confusion she has now started to wander at night fiddling with heating and taps etc.
I am finding it really stressful and hard to cope, I worry about her safety and am really tired as I am up all night with her putting her back to sleep only to have her get up again. She has sleeping tablets but these don't have any effect.
Please could someone help and give me some advice on what to do.
Many thanks
Loulee
