I have just returned from mum's to give her her morning meds. She was in a blind panic as she thought she had no food for herself or her dog. She had tried to call me but hadn't managed the call. She wasn't wearing her fall alarm. Once I had made breakfast for her and reminded her gently of what the food looks like and where she keeps it, she was calm again but frightened. Once I had time to look carefully, it appeared that she had in fact eaten something but forgotten. She had fed the dog dental sticks but no water.
Does anyone have any handy hints on how to remind her that she does indeed have food? I have started leaving notes on the door to remind her about keys but that didn't work. She has lunch delivered but sometimes forgets she has received it. Same goes for the newspaper which had been a comforting routine for her.
She has been deteriorating for some time now but I was unprepared for this.
