Hi,
I am new on here. My Mum has Alzheimer's & has recently been admitted to a residential EMI care home in Tonbridge. Mum is still fairly fit & active & whilst this lasts, I would like her to be able to go out & about as much as possible. The staff are able to do this but probably not as often as Mum would like to go out! I have contacted Alzheimers Society, Age Uk & Dementia UK & they all tell me because she is now in residential care, she is no longer eligible to go to any of their day care centres & basically cannot help at all. I work full time & am fairly limited to evenings & weekends for visiting & taking Mum out.This is infuriating as just because she has moved, it doesn't mean she wouldn't like a change of scenery. Does anyone have any help or advice at all?
Kind regards
Amy
