I live abroad and have recently had the journey of learning that mum has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and would require going to a home to help her meet her needs going forward. The distance made it very hard to cope, care and understand my mums needs.
My mum was struggling severely with depression, loneliness, lack of independence and just the swift decline in her memory and cognitive ability. She ended up in hospital due to a fall and then become institutionalised. This is where Lex entered my mum's life and made a huge difference.
She was calm, understanding and understood what mum needs and her requirements were in regard to the care and Alzheimers. Here we are six months on, and mum has settled into a new home and seems very content.
