Mum's hospital style bed arrives

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

Available for over a year

Another emotional week for Andrew as he has to dismantle his parents' double bed, ready for a hospital style single one. The carers were struggling to move Mum, so the adjustable controls on the profile bed will make their (and her) life easier. It feels like a big landmark though, with Mum's condition deteriorating quickly over the last few weeks. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
