Hi all,
This is my first post, so 'hello' to every one. Admin, I am not sure if this post is in the correct forum area. If not, apologies and could you please move it to the relevant area.
My granddad lives away from home (we live in England) in France and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Unfortunately it is not possible to return him home (I would love to have him back ). An additional complication is that his girlfriend is also very ill and unable to care for him due to her illness. His girlfriends carers do make an effort with him, but I would feel much more comfortable about the situation if he had some one specifically there to assist him.
My family and I are prepared to pay if needs be, even if we can only afford a couple of visits per week. Any advice would be appreciated, or people with similar stories they could share. I have no idea where to go with this problem.
Thank you.
