Sounds like it's time to get the CAP people on the job. So sorry you're going through this, it's so painful to see your loved ones decline right before your eyes.

oh spelling. Yah. I am not quite right at the moment. Full of the flu, peering at the screen with no glasses and knackered from insomnia

FIGHT WITH DEMENTIA

What I have experienced, is there's way not enough support out there for families who are suffering the loss of there loved one with dementia. My grandma was recently diagnosed and we had completely idea what dementia could do to a human being other than she might forget a couple of names and how to prepare a coffee... we couldn't even imagine would stop being herself and take on a new personality. The biggest problem is that you have to always remember that's not your dad talking, it’s the dementia talking.

Best regards... And hold strong...
Danny
