Hi all,
My father has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimers. My father lives at home and retired 4 years ago after he got cancer, however he has made a full recovery from this. My father lives with my mum who still works full time as a cleaner and my brother whom also lives with my parents, is currently not working as he is caring for my father. I live in the same village and have a very young daughter.
I'm not sure where to start with looking for support for my mother and brother, what financial support we can gain, and how my brother and mum can both work if my dad can't be left on his own which is what the social worker who viewed dad said?
Where do we start? And how can we make things easier for all? My father refuses to socialise and us very stubborn which makes things harder.
Any advice or support would be greatly received.
Thank you
