Hi everyone
My mum has Alzheimer’s and is totally incontinent, the problem is she is in total denial that she has dementia at all and thinks she doesn’t need help at all!
She is now thinking she’s having a shower each morning which she obviously needs after wearing her ‘nappy’ all night but she’s not and is smelling.
Me & my sister are trying to shower her but she is physically fighting us and screaming!
We are at a stage where we feel we need outside help but reluctant to get a nurse or a carer involved if she is going to react the way she does!
Has anyone else had experience of this?
We don’t know what to do next?
Any help appreciated x
Thank you
