Only just joined but have been reading posts for a while. Mum has been suffering with dementia for approx 5yrs although only diagnosed June of this year when her aggressive and violent behavior became too much for my dad to cope with. She has been in a care home for 2 months now. Still very aggressive and unsettled. Medication still not quite right.
Anyway my question is that we have been asked to attend a care assessment for mum next week at the care home. Can anyone tell me what this might involve, which agencies will be present and will mum also be there. Not really looking forward to it, as i think mumis no becoming violent towards her carers.
Thanks
Great site and has already been a lot of help and information for me.
