Mum has stage 2 dementia and still lives alone. My brother and I visit daily. Mum suffers from heart failure, diabetes and various other ailments leading to a daily diet of many drugs. Our fear is a serious fall and we have suggested a live in carer. Her reaction is warmer when she doesn’t feel well, but negative at other times.
In many ways we are just delaying the inevitable however we do not want to create to extreme a change in Mums routine.
Has anyone experienced the introduction of in house care and how has it been received by your loved one with dementia.
