What are the stages of Alzheimer's/ dementia? How will I recognise where my mum is at
How will I know when she truly cannot live in her own home and needs caring for full time.
She can't/ won't discuss/ accept the diagnosis
It's a surprise each day to her that she can't function. She is physically disabled too. She is house bound due to lack of concentration motivation confidence etc
She has a carer twice a day increasing to 3 times next month she can't really prepare meals but says she can she forgets to drink she can't manage any tasks. Her meds are given by carers
Some days are better than others
Incontinence is creeping in occaisionally
She is adamant she doesn't want to leave her home even for respite and just cries and has a tantrum like a toddler.
Sorry for rant :-(
