Caring for a parent or loved one with DementiaFor the past two + years myself & hubby have been caring for my Mum at our home I got all essential equipment required including strait lift so covered the practical aspects. After nursing people with all types/aspects of mental impairment I was positive we'd be a.o.k. however recently the pressure is starting to tell on me, she has had respite care in the past now though she is in danger of falling every time she has to mobilize I'm extremely reluctant to risk having a holiday, I'm fully aware of the stress on care staff & mum is beyond understanding that she might have to wait for assistance especially when it involves going to the bathroom. I do know that things could be far worse she isn't distressed and sleeps fairly well now with medication thanks to an understanding GP. She does call/shout for nurses all day long sometimes you'd think it was a real emergency usually it's nothing at all which can be very frustrating. We never go out anywhere together as mum can't be left & the cost for day care is appalling. Residential fees are extortionate (done that) ! I expect things to get easier from Spring time longer brighter warmer days. My thoughts & Prayers go to all other carers, Bless you all.ViewDate:

I'm a newbieHi Guys, it really is a lovely start to the day/week bright sunshine as well as being frosty & icy so with that in mind I'm delaying heading out for my weekly shopping, I live in the country so our roads remain slippery till almost midday. Wishing you all a good week ahead !ViewDate:
