We are currently experiencing a living hell with my Dads vascular dementia. There are so many organisations out there who profess to provide help from voluntary to NHS however after 12 months of trying to get some practical help ie sitting with my Dad for and hour to let my Mum go shopping or have a coffee with a neighbour, help just doesn’t exist. There are lots of clubs that you can drive to and do things at, but that is totally unsuitable for my Dad. No one takes the time to understand his needs no one is remotely interested. He has brain damage and his illness is treated as a social issue. Forums like this may help some people but Ian sick of talking and the only thing that really talks is money. You have to pay to get help with dementia. I just wish people would be more honest and tell you this from the start instead of talking talking talking. I’m all talked out
