Cathy, home help - L8 Liverpool

Cathy's extras

Having cared for my mother for 12 years with Alziemers in which was a pleasure to do . My mother was 80 years young when she sadly passed away . At first this was a learning curve for me as I didn't have much knowledge about my mothers illness. I learnt quite fast as my mum condition changed on a daily basis for example not washing and having to tell her. Through this illness I was approached by Mossley Hill Hospital to do mental health course and sit on a panel with doctors and staff to give my views as a carer . My mother stayed at home and never went into a nursing home which I feel that had something to do with the care I and my family cared for my mum. After a few years my mum sadly forgot how to wash herself , feed herself, became incontinence and sadly didn't no who we were. This made me sad but I new our mum was well cared for and loved .
