Hello,
I’m brand new here. My mum was diagnosed with unspecified dementia in the first week of lockdown, in March 2020. Due to the lockdown, we didn’t receive any support or advice with how to manage with this bombshell. Fast forward a few months, and Mum has now been diagnosed with Advanced Alzheimer’s.
I arranged for home carers to visit mum, as unfortunately my dad just cannot cope with what’s going on. Mum can’t tolerate the carers, and kicks them out. Social services have become involved, and during a best interests meeting, it was decided that her needs would be best met in a nursing home.
I am at peace with this, because it’s clear Mum can’t stay at home any longer.
Due to COVID, I can only take my mum to the reception area of the nursing home. I have absolutely no idea what I am going to say to her, as to why she’s going there. I’m taking her on Monday
Please, please - if anyone can help me I’d be so grateful. This is destroying me and I’m feeling crippled with the pressure and responsibility.
Thank you so much in advance for any help.
