Hello Everyone
My mum has just been diagnosed and we have been given no advise as to where we can get help and advise from, so thought I'd start here!
My mum is 79 years old and has been struggling with memory problems for a few months. On her most recent memory test she did worse than the one 6 months ago, so went to see the doctor and he said it was the start of Alzheimers Dementia.
I couldn't believe it, we knew something was going on but not that.
I am really looking to see if anyone can advise on where we can get help from, whether anyone could come out and speak to mum and the family about it and what to expect. I have read things on the internet, but I just got so upset I couldn't read it for the tears.
Anyway, if anyone could help or advise, me and my family would appreciate it.
Thanks
