My mum has been referred to the memory clinic but there is a 9 to 12 month waiting list. She is 90, her memory is very poor and she is becoming more confused and "feeling lost". She recently experienced 4 days of hallucinations which was very scary for her and upsetting for the rest of us. They seem to have stopped for now. Mum lives alone in the same village as me. She copes well enough physically but is all over the place mentally and emotionally.
Does anyone have any experience of seeking a referral to a private memory clinic? Would getting a diagnosis more quickly make any difference?
