My mother has dementia diagnosed only few months ago, although she is rapidly going downhill. My sister and myself dont know what to do for the best for her, we have been looking after her for few weeks but work commitments is making it very hard for both of us, we want to do the right thing by our mum. She is very agitated and is scared of being alone, we thought of having carers in but they would not be there 24 hrs day, we have found her some respite care in a nice ch but she totally freaks out if we mention her going there to try it, we are at our wits end, has anyone got any suggestions.
