Martin

Your loving family
24/10/2020

Martin is 58 with early onset Alzheimer's. The Home do a fantastic job but nothing can take the place of family, which Martin thrives on. Dementia is a long grieving processing losing your loved one over time and you grab every smile you can at this stage. We will never know if Martin feels lonely and that we have abandoned him though sometimes I see the hurt in his eyes. We will never get over the heartache this enforced separation has caused - it is a human rights issue. Please help us.
