Hi
Mum had her assessment today and has been diagnosed with vascular dementia, I am not too sure how much she understood what the consultant said but by the time she got home she had forgotton where she had been.
Can anyone her give me any insight into how this type of dementia progresses, and any advice and info on the subject.
I know that we would like her to remain independant for as long as possible as she has a fear of Nursing Homes, as my father was in one for 3months after suffering an acute stroke, it was a lovely home and the staff were great, but she hated going there to see Dad.
Thanks ...................
