My mum’s been in a care home for about three months now. Before that she was in hospital for seven weeks. She seemed so ill at home some days I didn’t think she had much longer and her capacity was severely reduced along with poor appetite and strange behaviour. Now she’s in a care home she has improved so much and even seems a bit like her old self. She has vascular dementia diagnosed about a year and a half ago. Is this normal for things to improve?
