Kayleigh’s dad became Pam’s main carer, but he found this difficult as his wife’s condition developed.
‘In August 2022, after a particularly awful weekend where my dad broke down and admitted he could no longer cope, we put Mum on the list for an emergency residential care placement. Kayleigh says she yearns for her mum, who can no longer recognise her children and is ‘agitated and on edge all the time’.
‘The initial symptoms were forgetting things she had done and also dangerous driving,’ says Anabelle. ‘Then after six months she started becoming aggressive if you disagreed with her.’ ‘Spend time looking at photos and talk about good memories. Enjoy the small things like watching movies or being told about the past, even if you’ve already heard the story.’
