My dad was diagnosed with PD in late 2014. He was doing relatively ok until recently when he has begun to hallucinate and has been diagnosed with lewy dementia. His hallucinations are getting more frequent and vivid over the past couple of weeks and I have encouraged my mum to contact his doctor.
Where I need some help is with my mum… she is finding it all very distressing as she works full time and is currently trying to work from home. She feels that she is not coping. Usually I would go and help/support but I’m unable to due to the current lockdown as I live 200 miles away from her.
Can anyone give me any hints/tips to help her from afar?
