"My wifes alzhimers"

About: Cognition and mental health in aging

(as a carer),

My wife has Alzheimer's and other issues and she was spiralling down at a rapid rate.

Until Mr Coffey (Community psychiatric nurse) and his colleague Dr Vedavanam got involved.

They both listened to what both my wife and myself had to say about the problems my wife and I were going through. and extremely empathized with our situation. they both got involved with making practical suggestions. along with medications.

I'm glad to say that although my wife's condition won't be cured the help we received from Mr Coffey and Dr Vedavanam has given us a corner stone on which to build a new chapter in our lives together

Many many thanks to Mr Coffey and Dr Vendavanam

I am glad that Mr Coffey and Dr Vendavanam listened to you and gave you practical advice and medication to help with your wife's Alzheimer's.
