Hi all
My Wife’s mother has been diagnosed with dementia for 8 months now.
She is in her late 70s and lives with her husband who is in his 80s.
My wife is round nearly everyday and 1 of her 5 brothers is also round nearly everyday.
The other 4 brothers rarely visit and do not seem to realise just how bad things are especially for their Dad who is really struggling.
Recently things seem to be getting drastically worse .
She won’t take her medication and gets angry and volatile whenever someone try’s to help.
She constantly seems to be angry and violent with her husband .
He is finding it really hard and has broke down in tears a few times .
We don’t seem to be getting much help from anyone regarding her illness and was just wondering if anyone can point us in the right direction of what we are entitled to or what we can do to increase both of their quality of life.
Kind regards
