Hi - am after tips and tricks to best deal with Mum who has recently starting saying No to everything and in most cases refusing to move.
She is in relatively good spirits but now moving her from one place to another can be hard work as she is quite firm in saying No and then either not helping to get out of her seat and fights off any help, or similarly you may be walking someone then she just stops and refuses to move.
I have found not using questions helps and making it more a point of fact what we are going to do, as well as giving her a supporting hand up or along. But appreciate any other tips to better defuse these confrontations and get to a postive outcome more easily.
Thanks
