Oh for the good old days when GP would call and have a chat with the patient and the family about Life, the Universe and everything. Hope things improve for you both, whatever happens next. She sounds like a very special lady...a generation who have seen so much change. Meds in care home? Probably o...

Thanks Jane for posting this...important subject. Yes, regular med reviews are vital. Good to see this post here. :) So often dementia is suspected when often other causes of "symptoms" are the real culprit.

Trying to help, that's all, hate the thought of you being so anxious. I hope to pop in again...
