Re: Caring for Someone Living with Dementia

Yes , what I find is hard too my @Former-Member is that as mum's carer I can not get her scripts from the doctor for her 

As I have to get mum who is frail  up to the doctors for any  appointments 

Re: Caring for Someone Living with Dementia

I hear you. It's really tough unless they offer telehealth. Hopefully they could if she's been an ongoing client.

Good night and thank you my fellow carer @Former-Member ❤❤❤💤💤

Re: Caring for Someone Living with Dementia

Hey there @Shaz51,
Sundowning is such a curious element of dementia. It's concerning to see your loved one's mood shift rapidly within hours. These 8 strategies are very helpful, particularly number 5. After a long day it can be hard to dig deeper to assist someone experiencing distress in the evening. My heart goes out to those of you caring for someone with dementia Heart

Re: Caring for Someone Living with Dementia

Yes , sometimes there is a lot to remember @Former-Member 

Learning more from 2 of my customers  whoes  loved ones have dementia  we work for and to realize that mum and I have only started or mid way in the journey 

Also sundowning usual happens around when you are busy with dinner etc for the family and how tired the carer is from the day they have had 

Re: Caring for Someone Living with Dementia

It's really one of those things that you learn about as you go along with your loved one. It's a shame dementia doesn't come with a roadmap! 

Re: Caring for Someone Living with Dementia

Also depends on your attitude too @Former-Member 

This morning I am actually home and I know mum is enjoying it 

She has made up 2 poems this morning 🤣😂 we are both laughing,  I have cleaned the  house etc , now Mum is very tired again
