A capacity test underlines how little Mum can now understand

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

Available for over a year

The carers are finding it increasingly difficult to help Mum move around her house. She already has two carers to help her get up, washed and ready for the day. But the other three visits are currently with one carer. Before the council will agree to increase her support, a social worker must do a capacity assessment. It underlines for Andrew how little Mum can now understand. However they have a good day together, including cheery waves to neighbours and a trip out in the car. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
