Hi,
My Mum has been suffering from Alzheimers for a number of years. Got worse over the last 6 months or so and now does not recognise me most of the time which breaks my heart.
My Dad has finally reached the point where he can no longer look after her (hes recovering from Prostate cancer himself!) so we have decided to arrange to move Mum into a nursing home.
We are due to see an 'assesment board' to discuss costs etc which worries my Dad as hes not sure about what the cost would be money wise as hes not got much in the way of savings.
Hs anyone else had this kind of assesment for a relative so could maybee let me know what sort of thing we are in for.
We want the best care possible but can ill afford to put Mum into a nursing home.
I cant find any info on the web (maybee Im lookin in the wrong place) so can any one help???
