My old mum, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 18 months ago, reluctantly agreed to enter a Care Home whilst I’m overseas on my 6 week jaunt.
To date she isn’t a danger to self, apart from ‘big time’’ short term memory loss, but doesn’t use her oven and I do the majority of her washing, visit daily as she lives locally, and she enjoys her independent life, such as it is.
When I return I’m getting her a ‘fall alarm’...I think a wrist worn one may be better as she can see it...she’ll probably take off a pendant one and forget about it, or lose it ( think false gnashers left on bird table).
Any thoughts please from anyone with experience of such ?
