Hiya!!!!
This is my first post so be kind lol.
my mum is 62 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in august last year. she has always been a very independent person and just always got on with things.
however in the last 4 weeks or so she has been walking into town on her own but when it comes to getting home she has been getting very lost and confused with her surroundings, she has had to ask people how to get home and they have had to walk her there and on several occasions she has even flagged down drivers and asked for help!!!
i have called social services for advice and had no luck and they diddnt seem to interested with my problem so i thought i would turn to you guys!!
any advice would be very much appreciated as i dont know what to do!!!!!!!!
