This must vary from borough to borough. It was the norm for the ambulance to come and help my brother get up. The time they took varied. He actually called them himself and told them he was OK lying there or not. They would bring one of these Mangar Elk devices that SeasideDeb refers to. There was n...

This is all getting a bit nasty, except for Pet's last post. Firstly, it is quite normal and correct English to write 'they' and I have sometimes read it in this forum just because the poster wanted to keep things impersonal, nothing to do with gender identity.

He did make a couple of mistakes at the end, down to speed rather than inability to ...

Hi Tony, I am not an expert on this and I am sure others will be along to advise you, but it's often said here that the Alzheimers Society has a useful forum and it deals with all forms of dementia, not just Alzheimers: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk I believe it's a slow and confusing process actual...
