Im 22 and youngest of four. I am also a manager of a care home and hear of lots of different charities for Alzheimer's. My mum is 55 and has been diagnosed with vascular dementia since Christmas. We haven't heard or been offered any support to help mum day to day.
My husband is 56 and we were told in July that he had 'Alzheimers type dementia'.
After a boat load of Alzheimer Society info sheets, most of which did not apply to him we finally got to see oyr first specialist last Monday.
Well, not the Consultant but a trainee who was doing his MH rotation.
The problem with early onset is that it is classified alongside later onset, and therefore the attitude os 'you are old so what do you expect' kind of attitiude.
Info on it is very sketchy, professional knowledge is limited and help is hard to find.
I have had a Carers Assessment - phone the local council and tell them you want one.
A care assessment for my OH cam come later as his problems increase - they are supposed to be legally committed to do it.
Have a mooch on the internet and find the info you want.
Don't let the ******s wear you down as that will happen soon enough.
