ALZEHEIMERS AND DEMENTIA HELP IN THE MELBOURNE AREA |
| I have prepared this page to try to help anyone that has a family member that needs living assistance. I lost my father and was told my daughter would not make it through the night all in one week's time. Luckily I had a girlfriend that came to my assistance and we visited every assisted care facility and multiple nursing homes during the year prior to my father's death and the year my daughter was in the hospital and a nursing home. My daughter could only move her head after surgery gone wrong. She couldn't breath by herself much less take care of her personal needs. So I know what it is like to need help and not know which way to turn. I hope this page helps you. |
