Hi

I cant believe you would even consider takig your mother with dementia out there. I have a mother with dementia and the one thing i have learned is the slightest change in routine causes extreme distress and is unsettling. Taking her away from her familiar environment will be a disaster.

You seem to be focussing incorrectly  on What you can get from spain as support. im sorry but you are living in cloud cookoo land- whatever we think of our nhs what we have in this country is a utopia compared to elsewhere. The support here in the uk , whilst never enough - is actually pretty good- why else do so many people from abroad make a bee line for the uk- to take advantage of our benefits system.

If you want to start a new life in spain then do so without your mother- if she is so bad and needs to go in a care home then thats the best place for her - and best for you- if she isnt that bad yet then unless you have the support network  in place then your dream should wait.

apologies if this seems all a bit harsh but has to be said
