Hello
My mother has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is finding it hard to accept. She is living on her own as my father passed away last year. My brother and I both live an hour and a half away and 2 hours away in opposite directions. One of us is there every other weekend and for all appointments she has. She wants to move nearer to one of us but doesn't like any of the warden controlled flats we have shown her as she wants to live within walking distance of both of us which is impossible. If we try to make a decision for her she gets very angry with me in particular and refuses to move. She is also now refusing all her medication and gets very angry with me if I try to get her to take it and tells my brother she will take it but then doesn't. She is very lonely but won't accept anyone but me or my brother coming in and does not want to go to any clubs or events. Does anyone have any advice for me as this is all new to me
Thanks
