Hi
My mum is caring for her brother (79) who was recently diagnosed with vascular dementia. She shares caring with his partner (who doesn't live with him).
She lives nearby but cannot visit more than once a day.
He has diabetes and recently had eye surgery - he keeps forgetting to take his morning diabetes medication and frequently forgets eye drops that he is meant to take 4 times per day.... Any tips please on ways to remember to take meds when the carer isn't there?
Please bear in mind that his home isn't get dementia friendly - it is full of books and nic-nacks.... difficult to find anything!
thanks
