Hello, I reallyneed some advice about my mum who has dementia, although not properly diagnosed (we have a letter saying 'probably dementia' as she walked out of the assessment appointment). She lives on her own nearby and we see her often. She is deteriorating rapidly, gets very confused re. time, sleeps during the day and is often awake at night; doesn't eat very well, rarely changes her clothes.
I don't know who to contact for support. It would be great if someone could visit every couple of days to check she has food etc. I work full time and have a young daughter and see her a few times of week, but I worry about how quickly she is getting worse and don't know how to initially access support/services.
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you.
