Hi everyone,
Im hoping i can get some advice my mum is in the later stages of her Alzheimers and i am her main carer we have carers who come and sit with her during the week to help and my sis in law aswell. My brother thinks its time to start looking at care homes, my mum is blind aswell and really now knows only a couple of us and i know it sounds strange but she says our names but has no understanding of what we are to her she dosnt get that im her daughter all she wants is home to her mummy. I would keep my mum with me at home for aslong as i can but it is getting so hard. But the thought of putting her in somewhere and letting go is so hard i dont know if i have the strength to do it. I have never lived in my house without my mum. I worry in a home do they have the time or even the staff to give her one on one time. She loves people holding her hand sitting beside her as she cant see she dosnt know anyone is there. I worry she will feel lonely.
