Hi,
My mother in law was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s a few years ago, had been doing ok at home with her partner until recently. She had a couple of episodes of what I can only describe as delusional psychosis where she attacked her partner.
My husband has been helping to sort out a place in care for her which she went in to for a couple of weeks yesterday. And everything else as well.
He won’t show it but i know it’s stressful for him.
I will obviously support him no matter what.
I just wanted to ask people who are carers, who have the stress of being power of attorney etc, what support means the most to you?
If she stays in the care home then that will be a big weight off his shoulders.
But I want to make sure he takes some time for himself and to process it all. She has gone downhill quite quickly since we saw her last at the beginning of sept so I think it’s been a bit of a shock.
