Dear all,
I have just signed up to this forum, and I hope it will prove to help me in my current situation. My mother was diagnosed with early-onset dementia in April 2006, at the age of 53. Unfortunately, she is divorced from my father so the responsibility fell on me (21) and my sister (23) to arrange her care, and we moved her into a nursing home nearby. I am her receiver now, but am a final year student so could not be her carer. I admire those of you who have taken that upon themselves, and wish everyone the best.
Sophie
