Hi I'm new on here. I'm desperately seeking advice I feel very overwhelmed at the moment. My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the beginning of the year and has deteriorated following my Dad's passing. My sister became her main carer but struggled to cope due to own health issues and we felt my mum wasn't safe to be at home so we found a care home for her. Her behavior is often challenging, she can often become aggressive and this is usual directed towards my sister or certain carers. The root cause seems to be that she is asking for help with mobility, she is very unsteady and has frequent falls, but if she doesn't get the help she gets frustrated and angry. However sometimes she just gets up herself and manages to get around with the use of a zimmer. There seems to be no pattern to it however the carers have insinuated that she is doing it deliberately for attention and to make my sister feel guilty. It was even said that her most recent fall was deliberate to make my sister leave work and go to her. I find this hard to believe but even my mum's social worker has said she's putting it on. I have no other experience of dementia but surely it's all part and parcel of the condition? Can anyone offer any experience?
