Im a first time poster my mother was diagnosed with vascular dementia several years ago,last year she had a major fall at home resulting with a broken neck,bleed on the brain,broken eye socket and broken arm and not expected to survive however she did and was home ten days later it was a nightmare knowing what I know we should have refused to have her home (she lives alone) forward on a year later her dementia has progressed she can no longer cook for herself and has a hot lunch delivered to her she has a am carer to administer meds and one in the evening for the same (carers spend about 15 min) she doesn’t always dress for the weather, sometimes odd shoes she looses keys constantly ,doesn’t always know who we are and has hallucinations believing a family live with her and even sleeping in bed with her which sometimes is distressing for her,we would like her to move to a care home but her social worker says she doesn’t need to be in care so we can’t get the 12weeks funding support until her house sells how do other people manage we are going round in circles sorry for the offload .
