	Hello everyone. I wrote a few weeks back that my mum was in a local care home. Unfortunately, she has Alzheimers. Just to let you all know how much she has progressed after leaving our local hospital's "Mental Health Unit" She still has a number of muddled episodes, but the fact that the staff can now take her in her chair to visit the local shops, has made such a big difference to her.She is so upbeat, and not as down. Just wanted to let you all know that she is settling in nicely. I appreciated the warm words and thoughts from those of you who have been there. You guys know who you are.Some of you wanted to remain anonimous! Thank you all. Gail x x
