Hi
@jugglingmum
I couldn't agree more regarding the lack of spatial awareness. I too doubt there is any point in a further eye test - she had one in October 2018 (when she was much more 'aware'). Unfortunately we need to complete this 'tick box exercise' to have any hope of obtaining a level of 1:1 support. My brother will be with mum and he will ensure that if mum shows signs of becoming distressed the testing will cease.
Mum clearly has difficulty processing information. She will reach for things that are not there and everything handed to her is put to her mouth. She has no interest in her surroundings or anything going on around her. Her sole purpose is to pace the home
Mum has various walking aids - none of which she can use. Mum drags her walking stick behind her, making it a further trip hazard- my brother has brought this to the attention of Social Services- and mum abandons her rollator constantly.
Mum has had 2 further 'minor' falls - Friday evening and Sunday midday. I think we are now at 16 since mum moved into her home on 4th Jan 2019. On the occasions where falls have been witnessed, carers have confirmed that mum makes no attempt to' save herself' so she is clearly unable to recognise or process the danger.
