My Mum has had Dementia for nearly 10 years. She still lives in own flat and carers go in twice a day. Myself and siblings visit weekly.
For quite a while she has been so aggressive whether with us the carers, doctor when they visit, foot nurse, anyone.
Whatever we try to do to help she throws an awful tantrum. Swearing or shouting. Lashing out sometimes.
We've not been able to wash / cut her hair, cut her toe nails ( foot nurse unsuccessful) She told nurse she'd throw water all over her !
She keeps curtains closed all day. Turns off lights when we visit.
Tells us to go away and leave her alone.
Does anyone have tips , advice on how to give her help
Do others have similar problems ?
Yesterday I visited and she seemed scared of a full black plastic bin bag I was about to get rid of .
What is it that makes sufferers so aggressive ?
Sorry for going on so long
