Anyone care for (live in) someone with dementia?

Hi

Just noticed this new section.

My parents live with my nan who has dementia and have done for some time. It's always very hard for them, I've seen it for myself and don't know how they cope. BUT, my mum is getting really low with it all now and I'm worried about her (and my dad). Especially at the moment as my dad is in hospital recovering from an op and waiting for more results about that too.

I'm always talking about how fab MN is and I just wondered if anyone else has to live with this day to day IN CASE she agrees to come on here for support, moans about her days etc. I feel she needs someone to talk to as she doesn't moan to my dad about it (it's his mum) yet she does most of the caring!

That's it really, just want to help my mum

Hello, I have noticed that there is a need for non-agency carers in many areas and sectors. I have been an agency worker for 10 years, have lots of good training and certifications and a CRB. I reside in the Bournemouth area and would love to work in my community now as a private carer, as I have been caring very far and wide and with agencies, this is however no longer my career path, agencies that is. I am looking for a private position.
Have lots of experience in dementia, alzheimers, post operative care, parkinsons,MS and much more. Please contact me if interested. Victoria..Mobile No. 0777 450 4123. Thank you for reading this.
