I too find this incredibly frustrating and difficult, being the sole Carer with mum in denial I have to do everything covertly, mum will not go to any appointments as believes nothing is wrong, but the first thing any agency or concern says is ‘we will need to meet you at your mums’, NO you can’t....that will never work, she hates to be spoken about, hates me to say anything, and hates people to ask me rather than her, so I have to meet them independently, it has worked ok so far, it the more difficult situations are still to come I believe. Didn’t work too well when the police had been called after finding her wandering around, and then called me and started asking for detail, more hateful looks and actions.
I managed to get podiatry treatment for her, the first thing the girl said was ‘so you have dementia then’, I could have hit her, why do they do that they just don’t think, mum’s response, no I don’t that’s for mad people, I know she just doesn’t understand about it, let alone think she could possibly have it.
