Hi all
Just wanted some advice really. My aunty has deteriorated over the last 2 years. Initially has all tests, scans and nothing came back although consultant suspected early Alzheimer’s.
She has refused to attend any further appointments and my uncle is caring for her but he is nearly 80. He is now struggling but will not admit as he doesn’t want her to go into care.
I need to do something but I don’t know what. I thought I would contact the consultant to visit her but she will not let him in. My uncle doesn’t want to but he is going to end up ill himself.
She is not looking after herself now with regards to hygiene and is starting to become a little aggressive towards
My uncle as she thinks there is nothing wrong with her.
They have one son who lives abroad and basically cannot be bothered to even ring them.
There is no reasoning with her she will not go to see her own GP either even under false pretences to get her there.
I’m more concerned for my uncle at the moment.
Any advice on next steps?
Thank you
