my mother is 94 year old and migrated from the Philippines nearly 25year ago.She was diagnosed with dementia six years ago and in just to years her dementia had progressed to a point that she was in need of 24/7 care. One day she fell ill and was hospitalised, unfortunately whilst in hospital she had a fail and broke her hip. The doctor said that she needed to be placed in a nursing home, so as to receive the appropriate care.The family agreed to placement,however she was not her every one day to make sure she ate,but she would always complain of being hungry.The staff at the facility would comment on mum not wanting to eat the food available like mashed potato or boiled potato,not event toast.We informed staff of mum preference to eat rice three time a day with either egg or sausage,but they were not able to accommodate this as it was not on their menu plan. My mother was so much weight as a result of not eating.
After six month the family decided to provide care for her as she had become weak and frail. On one occasion when the family visited we saw her on the floor,she had because of her condition,We thought it would be better to take her back to Phillippines where she could be cared for by family. We would take to turns going overseas to assist in her care and sought support from other family members to provide care for mum 24/7 .At least in the Phillipines she would have the appropiate language and food to comfort her. This enviromental change made a big difference to her;she was open to discussing her illnees and for the family to plan lingusistically appropriate palliative care for mum is now becoming financially manageable however our frustration is now with the Australian goverment in not allowing her to access her pention oversesa to support her care. It is cheaper to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate palliateve care in Philippines rather then Australia.We,her family have worked hard to support out mother and give her a decent live whilst living with demental out the system cannot work with us.
