Some fascinating and in some cases sobering statistics here. So good to see them shared! The more widely we can talk about these things the better, I feel!
I am a single female with Alzheimer’s - 78 years old. I have no family. I live alone in my own home. Are there any services or help available for someone completely alone like me?
FYI Carer Mentor is a single author website and publication. It's also a community support network. Here is an anthology of articles by different authors where you can read about their experiences as a caregiver but also as someone with mild cognitive impairment https://www.carermentor.com/p/the-dementia-anthology
I hope the links give you some support, and helps you feel less alone. I hear your need for support. If you agree I can connect you with a few other people who subscribe to Carer Mentor?
