Hello, I'm new to this forum. Mum is 98 with what I think is stage 5 dementia but to be honest, we've had no help from anyone re diagnosis or advice, so have been pretty much sorting things out in the dark. Mum went into a care home this week because the strain of trying to keep her in her retirement flat had just got too much for me and my brother. We are having to self-fund and the fees are astronomical - 20% up on last year at not much under £2K a week so money's a huge worry at a time when we should be focusing on our mum. Mum's not settling in the care home which is an extra strain and now my brother and I have fallen out which makes things mega hard. Anyway, so glad to have found this forum!
