Thank you for your response folks.
Yes, other family members are on board, sharing the care of our mother. We also have Community Recourses on board, including palliative care..as mum has terminal cancer as well as dementia...all very supportive.
My concern as mums' primary carer and POA of health & welfare is, when do we have to resort to medication to manage mum's worsening dementia? Unfortunately there is a slight conflict between a member of family & myself, as to when to introduce these meds. I feel we should hold off as long as we can & continue with ditraction & reassurance tactics, but said family member thinks mum should be on meds. Mum has kidney failure and does not tolerate medication very well....it would mean a trial & error process, which I am sure mum isn't well enough to tolerate.
Although mums' dementia is advanced, she still sleeps through the night, doesn't wander, eats reasonably well and still knows her immediate family.
Any advice please??
