Hi
Could do with some advise, I care for my mother from a distance (another country). She has carers that come in twice a day to give medication and a private carer for a couple of hours a day 5 days a week. She has vascular Dementia for the past 4 years. She doesn't leave the house and spend every day in her dressing gown. She believes she gets washed and dressed every day. But we know otherwise as there is nothing in the washing basket.
She also believes that she does the washing but the cleaner does that this is why i know she has none.
We ask her every day if she is getting washed and dressed and she says yes, i am at a loss of how to approach this. She still believes she is totally independent and does not accept that there is a problem.
We have tried with the carer putting cloths out on the bed for her this worked once.
I keep loosing my patience and i know this isn't the right thing to do.
Any advise please
Thanks
