Michael Dickman said he was shocked at the rapid decline in his wife's condition
The husband of a woman who lost her battle with Alzheimer's was told by doctors they "had never seen a case as bad".
The couple, who had two sons together named Andrew and Ian, had met in their twenties and sparks flew from the moment they locked eyes. It wasn't long before Janet was admitted to Macclesfield Hospital's special 'Silk' ward, which provides individualised care to dementia patients. “And in some cases five minutes of being in Macclesfield, we would have to call the nurse for help. Whenever they were on duty, the visits were a lot better because they'd stay with us.”
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia and, together with vascular dementia, makes up the vast majority of cases. "And because there was no food intake and fluid intake and she was getting urine infections and then started to lose her mobility so she couldn't go to the toilet unaided. She effectively needed one-to-one care.”
