Hi - I have a mother-in-law who has quite aggressive dementia. She is on tablets to calm her down but since taking them her speech has become very poor. She is no longer able to communicate with anyone, she repeats the same letter 'f' 'f' 'f' 'f' if she is trying to say anything but very occasionally you might get 3 or 4 words from her. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can try and understand her. She cannot write, does not have the ability to draw a picture and can only sometimes point at things that are distressing her.
We have tried to get her to point to pictures to see if we can communicate in that way but all to no avail. Any help or assistance would be really appreciated as we do not seem to be getting anywhere with the Care Home she is in helping. They will only say she is having a good or bad day. Many thanks Pauline
