My Mum Elsie

23/10/2020

My 91 year old Mum went into a care home in crisis on 8th April after her dementia escalated due to lockdown. The family have only seen Mum via short video calls; Mum is also profoundly deaf making the whole thing very stressful. She feels abandoned. Mum was rushed to hospital from the care home with a pulmonary embolism, no one could go with her or visit and her dementia has now deteriorated further. It is stressful for both Mum and the family; I keeping wondering if I will ever see her again.
