My mother in law was officially diagnosed in Feb 2019 with Alzheimer's. This is all new and I'm not sure what stage she's at ..on the scale of What's considered quite bad if that's the phrase.
She's very confused alot of time,moody, repeats the same questions over and over again, she wandered up and down our town looking for us not sure where we were even though we just messaged to let her know. Eating out of date food alot as not sure of days of weeks/dates ( we try and clear out daily, but she insists on buying yellow stickers cos it's a bargain) she walked out of shops without paying for things....
She seems to be deteriorating very quickly, what's a normal time frame for this..(how longs a bit of string I know) She's very overwhelmed with home life (74, lives alone) my partner her son. Doesn't want to see her in a home of any kind unless absolutely necessary. We have talked and said we could move in with her so she stayed at home as long as possible (she's said she'd rather die than go in a home), once 'free' social care has reached its limit ( I am a carer so I know the drill few hours here and there ) were just worried about if we moved in we would have to give up our home, would the social work then take mother in law's home to foot care bill if a home was required.. then we're homeless, so many factors and questions... Don't even know where to begin..... Help
