I live in a small town of 20,000 in northern  British Columbia where I moved here 7 years ago to care for a mom who was considered to have alzeimers dementia which later was discovered she had nervous breakdown form mental,emotional ,and finacial abuse from the family. she would have dilusions &hallusionations time to time which went on for 6 years. being a small town there was little support or help in way of this desease until eventually she was taken from her home and placed in a care facility for 3 years  in Quesnel BC. tis a place where they use antiphsicotic drugs as control to keep them calmed down.I tried  hard to find a good doctor  which later found out all the doctors are from South Africa . The family were held responsible for elder abuse in which the public guardian trustees took over all her financial needs &health care.Tthe care home was costing 1100.00 a month for her care.Please give me your opinions of this situation of proper care for our ailing parents. Its has caused myself alot of grief, frustration &financial  hardship be this situation!!

My first blog!

Hi everyone this is my first blog ever! My vision for this blog is to talk about the life experiences I have went through in the past few years. My life has taken quite a turn since my mom took sick with alzheimers dementia. It's really taken a toll on my whole well-being. A series of unfortunate events have occured in my life. Because of this situation with my mom, it has really taken a toll on my financial and health matters. I hope to tell you the story of what's happened in the past few years. I could really use some input from anyone who has gone through this situation as I have as a caregiver.
