I'm so pleased everything is turning out for the best. It is such a hard decision to make. But your mum has clearly settled in really well.

Love

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
