for the past two weeks I have noticed something different and ... not pleasant!
I am the main carer for a Lady and am getting additional morning help to get the lady up, showered and dressed. The new behaviour is 'mimicking' whatever we say to her during the process of showering, and then after awhile this Lady goes into another stage of almost exhaustion. I can see she is tired.
She is a quiet, gentle, soft spoken and private lady. Her mimicking is only happening when there are two carers with her.
Her mobility is very impaired hence the need of additional help.
Do you have any experiences in this field?
