Hello, Thank you for accepting me to the forum and I could do with some advice about my 85 year old mum please.
I took her to the memory assessment clinic a year ago and she was assessed as 'a close differential between MCI and early dementia possibly Alzheimer's mixed' It was all really unpleasant as she argued with everything I said.
She has got steadily worse and I'm really struggling to cope with her short term memory loss and lack of reasoning. I've been told that we have to start the process from scratch because it's a year ago now since she went. Does anyone have any experience of this diagnosis and of having to start the whole process again? I would add that she is refusing to go again because they said she was fine last time.
Thank you for any advice.
