Hello,
My mum has just been diagnosed with moderate Vascular Dementia. Thank you for hosting this helpful site and for all the comments. The learning curve has been steep! I have two questions:
1. Could anyone describe, in their experience, what prompts the transfer from living semi-independently (with carers visiting three times a day), to moving into a care/nursing home?
2. Has anyone had experience of challenging the use of general anaesthetics on the elderly without consideration/discussion with relatives, which can push them into a condition of dementia?
Thank you.
