Carers speak out!

Constant stress and trauma

Mum's blind but was fine until she had a medical accident in 2018. She had memory loss and severe anxiety. I automatically became her carer. Despite seeking help/advice from agencies, no help came. In 2021, Mum went into a care home. She was sedated into a coma; all her jewellery was stolen. I then arranged 24-h care in her own home; the carers couldn't cope; it was lots of work for me. Mum's been back in a care home for 3 months, she's had regular injuries, and been attacked twice. Hellish.
