Any advice would be so much appreciated. My partner and I have been caring for his father who sadly died of cancer 5 weeks ago and this has significantly worsened my mother in laws symptoms. She has all the signs of dementia but GP refuses to diagnose. She has started swearing and getting angry, thinks her son is husband, won’t wash, wears same clothes every day and refuses to change m, misplaces things, short term memory. We are also helping his brother who is late stages of cancer so it’s all getting too much.
She gets so angry and upset if care home is mentioned, She is rude to any carers as she says she doesn’t want strangers in house. I feel she is unsafe on her own and my partner has LPA but it is so upsetting to see her get so distressed at thought of moving. She stayed with other son for 2 days to give us a break but was so anxious and verbally abusive that I had to collect her.
Please could you help advise what we do next
