hi i am a newbie. i care for my MIL who lives 2 minutes walk away and has alzheimers. she has imaginary people:
1. small children and babies who are lost. these are very distressing for her.
2. people who live in her house these annoy her leaving things on the draining board so she cant use it. making a mess in the kitchen and dont do their share of the cleaning (LOL writing it down they should like my teenagers!)
3. a company who runs her house and come in and out as they want doing stuff (possibly when me and my other half have done things?)
my partner and i disagree how to respond. they dont want to colude i want to get a carer in and say the company sent them (she wont have a carer because she doenst need one!!!).
so any advice on imaginary people are they normal and what to do and any thing i can read.
thanks! Lyd
