Dm has a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment but has recently got a lot worse. I'm at the point if wondering how long she can cope at home. Df died of dementia 5 years ago so she's on her own. Shes phoning me to visit every day at the mo as she feels 'muzzy'. I'm not sure if she's taken meds properly either. I only live 5 mins away but have a baby and a toddler and work so just dont have capacity to offer more care.
Shes 78 but physically able. It feels too soon for her to go into a nursing home, but sheltered accommodation maybe not enough eg she could still forget tablets, leave oven on, get confused in the night. Anyone have any advice? Living with us is not really an option
