Hiya! I've mentioned this in a couple of different threads.
On Friday I will be taking mum for her first appointment at the memory clinic. She knows something isn't quite right but denies being forgetful ( she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's but she doesn't know - the words 'Alzheimer's' or 'dementia' would send her into a tail spin) On the entrance door it says 'Older Person's Mental Health'.) I know we need the appointment but I am so scared of how she will react. Any advice/tips/reassurance etc very gratefully received!!
