My mum (64) has arthritis in her hands that has been worsening over the last couple of years and has now got to the point where she is struggling with daily life, mainly cooking and kitchen-related stuff I think. I live about 120 miles away and she doesn't like to talk about it so I am always a bit shocked when I see her as it always seems to be worse than I remembered.
She sees the GP and has various hospital appts for meds but I really think she needs some adapted equipment in the home. My brother still lives with her but he will be moving out soon and she will be alone. I'm sure there must be organisations or charities that would be able to provide help and advice but I have no idea where to start. She is also incredibly proud and hates to admit she can't do something. She would rather struggle on in agony.
Can anyone suggest any organisations I can contact for help and information? As much as anything I need to educate myself. I know I need to do something to help but I have no idea what.
(It is limited to her hands, her general mobility is excellent)
