Hi
my mum of 90 was diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s in September. She has daily care and companionship for an hour each morning to help with medication. My mum likes her independence but has completely loss confidence after a broken hip op in August. She suffers with anxiety and always has a pain somewhere but when distracted she is fine. My brother wants to put my mum in a home and I don’t agree as she lives in a warden controlled flat and has many good days but sometimes has a bad day. My mum spends time with me by staying at ours 70 miles away and I have a strong family support. My brother does not have this and only wants to pop in. We get our mum positive and my brother makes her negative.. my brothers answer is to feed her painkillers. He has a very strong influence over her and now she believes she can’t cope on her own..?
