I can't sleep. My mum has been in hospital for 7 months with mental health problems related to her Alzheimer's. She came out last month with a care package last month, and I was happy to accept the care package.
However, it's useless.
I posted before and mum was extremely ill and extremely violent towards me, and I was lost, in her illness, and I didn't understand what was happening. One day, when it was too much I called the SS and my GP surgery. She was sectioned for... Well a long time. I was told it was for the best she didn't leave, and that she entered a nursing home. However, after 7 months she came home, and whilst her memory is completely shot, her violence has gone and she is very affectionate towards me, and I feel that I have my mum back. Of course it is a pale imitation, but it is more like her than she was (last time I posted things were so bad, but the replies were correct in as such as she needed proper medication). Obviously, she is not right, but I can cope completely with her oddities.
The crux of the matter is, the private company that come at 10am, and 8pm are disruptive, they cannot do anything that I or my mum both need. They cannot give her medication etc, only offer to wash her. I would do that if called upon, but I think that will be the last to go.
I feel I need a little more than that. She cannot walk anymore, and I take her to the necessary washing etc. but I have been promised a walking frame (I have lilies and flowers in the garden as she loves them), but she cannot walk with a stick, she is too wobbly, but I've been waiting since her admittance to hospital in November, yet I've only got red tape.
I'm sorry, but since my mums diagnosis in 2010, I've been alone with this. I was alone for 6 months whilst she was in hospital. I do mean alone. I never had a person speak to me in all that time. Everybody who knew me and knew my mother quit when her diagnosis was confirmed.
However, I'm in a pickle and need advice, I'm not happy with the carers that come. They come as I've said, and don't do anything? They are pleasant enough, but they are no help. They just wish to wash her.
I feel let down by the SS, they did not provide what I needed (transport for medication, or pick up of the meds). I needed somebody to speak to in case of a return of mums violence (however, I think due to the correct meds this won't happen, she is sooo much better, and I'm told she had a mental illness due to the Alzheimer's).
I'm left with a private company who do nothing, and are very IMHO patronising, but tonight I was upset that the members of the company are BNP members, and we got into a bit of a arguement. I feel very uncomfortable with them coming to my house. I felt very unhappy with their 'they come over here with their burkas', ****. I no longer want the coming to my house. I feel terrible with them, and unwanted by the SS, but I fear I will lose everything coming close to help.
Sorry to rant so much. I am alone, but I needed to write this down, I needed to put this up, as I feel that if you live in South-west Wales, please be careful, I'm not sure that the SS are a solution or a problem. It may be better to beg your GP. It's just my experiance.
I'm so sorry for the long post. I can't sleep because of what has happened. I hope I make sense...
