						<title>Lasting Power of Attorney problems</title>
<link>http://www.dementiacentre.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?141</link>
<description><![CDATA[My husband is at the end of his tether....he was appointed Lasting Power of Attorney for his mother who was admitted to a secure dementia unit in March 2010.   However, he now finds that his mother's GP will not discuss any health details unless my husband obtains a letter from a lawyer requesting such information.    What on earth is the point of spending money on obtaining an LPAC (obtained when his mother had mental capacity) if now,  when information is needed to plan for her further care, he cannot do so unless he pays AGAIN for a solicitor to back up the request??    It appears that the whole situation is a money making exercise - please could someone reassure us that this is not the case......]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I hope so . it is good that people see that sufferers are human beings just like everybody else and that this is an illness that can strike anyone of us. Ignorance only builds fear the more open we are about the subject and how everyone can help by being more aware the better. Everyone with this decease deserves to be able to continue to enjoy life for as long as possible,doing the things they love to do. if these ads help to further that end then I am all in favour, at least it is worth a try.]]></description>

<link>http://www.dementiacentre.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?130</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi I am caring for a lady whoihas complex needs which include dementia, learning difficulties and scizophrenia. when she came to live with me i learned from her case worker that she loved to sing. I discovered that she had a special fondness for 1950`s music especially Elvis, So every day we play cds Elvis ,Perry Como, Sinartra etc.<br />She sings along and I join in,but perhaps the best route<br />to making contact   was when I was putting her to bed one night and asked her if she new "auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her draws?" She got a twinkle in her eye and she belted out the baudy little ditty. I joined in and we had a good giggle.She then began to sing old wwii songs eg White Cliffs of Dover from beginning to end. She would have been a child during the war and these old songs were obviously part of that. so we have now added Vera Lynn cds to her collection.   <br /><br />A singsong is a great treat for her every day we sing off key but we laugh alot and this has brought us together over the last six months. I was born into a Liverpool family in which aunts and uncles used to sing all these old songs so they bring happy memories for me as well as my service user.]]></description>

						<title>*Participants needed for research please*</title>
<link>http://www.dementiacentre.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?138</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br /><br />My name is Mel Palachandran. I am currently in my final undergraduate year of studying Psychology at the University of Liverpool. As part of my dissertation, I am interested in exploring how the perceptions of carers of Alzheimer’s patients towards healthcare professionals influences the caregiving experience. Therefore, I would like to speak to carers who are willing to share their personal experiences with the healthcare system in the UK and their caregiving experience in general. <br /><br />The purpose of the study is to identify the difficulties carers currently experience in their role as mediator and advocate for their loved one whilst dealing with the healthcare system. By understanding the nature of this complex interaction and by focusing on ways of strengthening this relationship specifically in the context of Alzheimer’s disease, it may be possible to alleviate feelings of caregiving burden, thereby improving the quality of life of carers and subsequently care-recipients. The findings of the research will hopefully raise the awareness of healthcare professionals to the importance of considering the holistic needs of both patients and their carers, in addition to addressing the more obvious health or behavioural problems. <br /><br />Participation in the research is completely voluntary and strictly confidential. If you are interested in taking part please contact me for further information.<br /><br />Miss Palavathani (Mel) Palachandran<br />Tel: 07545 553601<br />Email: p.palachandran@student.liverpool.ac.uk]]></description>
