‘It’s not dementia killing me, it’s exhaustion’

The head of the Alzheimer’s Society says that the UK is facing a humanitarian crisis, because the care system is failing those with dementia and their families.

The number of us who will provide care at home for a loved one with dementia is set to rise by almost one million by 2035.Anne’s husband John has been assessed as having no mental capacity and goes to a day centre two days a week.He is currently being assessed in a home, after he went missing and was found during an extensive police search.

I cannot for the life of me understand how or why people are being tortured like this in GREAT Britain in the 21st century...........where are all of our wonderful politicians now.......oh wait a minute the election is over so the normal crap service has resumed 😡😡😢😢😡😡

Don’t you feel as if you are insulting them when airport staff are rude to him .you hate to say he’s got all in case he understands certain things.airport told me I had no right to take him on vacation if he was non understanding their demands.and took him away from my side.

True love ❤️❤️❤️

True love ❤️

God this broke my heart...more has to be done to help people 😞

Dreadful and heartbreaking .. but people can expect that this will be the future under the tories.

This had me in tears. We face a minimum of 5 years of a government that is not going fund Social care properly

The reality is that this is nigh on impossible for many. Dedicated nursing home places are required, but many relatives will understandably want to avoid that as long as possible.

This is so sad, and so shocking that there is no help

This may be a sad thing, but there will always be a better day because God will protect the good

Same here, the utter exhaustion and knowing no help is coming. Its utterly heartbreaking

Got to sort out some sort of trade off with family or home health nursing staff. You deserve a good nights rest, dear, and this should not all be on you.

I’m so sorry. Im going through it with my mother who has vascular dementia. It’s horrendous 😢
