Where to get help

[Zeus22]

My Grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in august and has also significantly increased her drinking, extremely high levels of spirits in large quantities.

I need to get help and support for her and my grandpa but feel overwhelmed with where to start with so many different things going on with

Feels like GP has given up with them both and I feel so lost.

Thank you. I’ve tried phoning age uk this morning but couldn’t get through, will try again later. have also made a referral for care assessment needs.

maybe ask for a carer assessment as well for your dad.

Could you substitute some of the spirit’s with alcohol free versions? Would your Grandma notice?
