Hi Isobel

Where do you live?

Your ex husband sounds very much like my mum. She too has been in
care homes for Korsakoff most recently she was moved into the nursing
home part of her most recent Korsakoff unit. She too sits in her room
all day and does not mix with any of the other residents (they are a
lot older right enough) but she didn't mix with any in the other units.

I feel that my mum has detoriated physically and some days I cannot
make out what she is saying. She spends all of her time sleeping in
her chair. She was prescribed anti-depressants at one point however I
did not feel that they made much difference.

Not really sure what the answer is I'm afraid. My mum can't walk
either and is quite heavy so that limits my ability to take her
anywhere.
