I cared for my Mum who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year before she had to go into care for her own safety. I done this for almost a year. I was able to do this as I unfortunately through the advice of my GP who signed me off work as I had issues with my back . My tasks whilst caring for my Mum included preparing meals for her, making sure that she was taking her medication. I would also take her out when possible so she wasn't stuck at home all day giving her a change of scenery. I would also stay overnight to make sure that she had company as was safe in her own home. I shared these responsibilities with my sister who also done the above so that I had some time to rest .
