Hi
This probably has been covered before but I am new to this group.
My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2013, she is on Donezipil 10mg once a day.
This seemed to stablilse her and didnt seem to get any worse until 3 wks ago she had a fall in the street and was in hospital for 3 days. She was found to have a water infection which made the confusion 10 times worse. Since she has been home she now has two carers come in daily to help with medication and washing etc due to a broken hand. The problem now is her pension money over the last two weeks about £150 has gone missing from her purse. I do not suspect the carers but am not sure what to do. I have suggested to her that I keep some of the money back but she got annoyed and said dont treat me like a child.
On the matter of Donezipil has anyone found that it doesnt work after a few years (this is what the consultant told me )?
This may seem a trivial matter after reading some of the posts and I apologise for this
but it is only just occuring to me what lies in store for me and my mum.
