I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but...

Our neighbours are an elderly couple and the wife is suffering with Alzeimers or dementia. Sometimes I hear him shouting at her and getting really angry. I feel so sorry for them both, but as a carer myself (in a residential setting) I understand and empathise with his frustrations. I want to help in some way but as I don't know either of them very well, I don't want to just march round there with my good samaritan head on and stomp all over their privacy and dignity. Any ideas anyone? I don't think they get a massive amount of support from social services.

I think if you go round to see them, then I think he will think you're being nosy or intruding and most probably get offended. My Grandfather cared for my Nan when she was suffering with a brain tumour - he was so frustrated because he wanted her to get better, but she couldn't and wouldn't. In the end, she went into a home. I think if they aren't recieving much help and support from Social Services, then you are best to speak to Social Services before.

Why not make some home made soup, pop round with some and just say you have made far too much would they like some, nice friendly way to meet them properly, poor old thing it is only going to get worse isn't it, my mum had dementia. and it is very sad to see the confusion in there eyes sometimes, mad me shed many tears, to see it, good luck. mally.

Pop round and tell the wife a joke. Guaranteed she'll p**s herself laughing.
