Hi everyone,
As I mentioned earlier on another thread, dad has had dementia for at least 2 years, we still do not have a diagnosis, and he hasn't received any treatment. I've been mailing the community carer for 8 months in total about this. (I live abroad). Today I got a mail from her which finally gives me the details of the care co-ordinator at my parent's surgery. The Com. Carer says that she has passed on my details to the care co. and if he doesn't contact me within a week, I should get in touch with him. Fingers crossed that he does contact me and I don't end up having to mail him for months too.
I need some advice. My plan is to first ask him if my dad has had any kind of assessment and if not request for him to be referred to a memory clinic. Is that the right way to go about it?
Thanks,
LS
