our mam was taken into a secure assesment unit last week, we had tried everthing in our power to keep her at home, although she was pretty bad (no short term memory at all) she did muddle by. my great concern is how much she has deteriorated in 5 days, she wouldn,t entertain day centre,s at all because she (wasnt like those people), but on our first visit yesteday which BROKE OUR HEARTS, she had no spark, nothing, she did know who we were but seemed broken. the staff are nice and we were told she is given 1mg of larazepan at night, does anyone know if this could make my mam the way she is or possibly could her addmission to hospital make her like this, anyones experiences appreciated cos sometimes its so hard to go on.
