My mother has had a recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis. She seems to understand what this means but she doesn’t want us to tell her friends. She simply tells them she has tablets for her memory. Mum is living on her own and is generally fit. Either me or my brother visits once a week. She is still in the early stages and is safe at home on her own but we want her to have a carer twice a week to do the laundry, change her bedding and check she is eating. Mum is very independent and doesn’t see why she needs someone as she feels she can do all this herself. When she remembers she can do this work but we feel she forgets to do it. If we ask we get told she did it yesterday. Does anyone have any techniques to help us persuade mum to have someone in
