Hi there, my mum is in her late 70's and is the sole carer for my Dad who is immobile.
Lately she has become very loathe to take decisions, to change anything about their routine, and becomes very anxious if anything new is suggested. She and Dad have become very thin and they have fallen a couple of times. She often cannot remember the events of the previous day and repeats the same conversations again and again. We have tried to arrange extra help for them, physiotherapy, BUPA appointments and nothing happens because she cancels everything. We think this is early Alzheimers but how do we go about getting it diagnosed?
