Mum lost her fight against dementia yesterday age 77, where she was reduced to no more than a helpless baby after being such a strong powerful capable woman, what a shame for human society to have this condition in our midst, but the care and help for dementia patients is pretty sub standard as a civilised society, they did not want to give pain relief...we dont think she is in pain. She could not swallow so she could not drink or eat or clear her saliva so effectifly she was left to drown, in a condition that there is no recovery from are we wrong to want a more peaceful ending for us all to bear, although we lost her to dementia the harrowing scene's we watched her go thro will haunt me forever, where are these end of life care teams????? I only got a visit from the Dr cos I kicked off as she could not take her medicine orally and she had bad shoulders, in the last 48 hours she was awarded a morphine patch.
This level of caring is not what I thought we would get in a care home.
