Mum 93 with quite advanced dementia has been quite mobile until recently, now she is having problems especially with stairs Brought her from the care home to my house on Saturday, we don't have a downstairs toilet. She declined the loo but eventually got her to go, she was very wet, the tena pants were saturated, the throw and sofa were wet, she could hardly manage the stairs and fell forward onto her knees jarring herself, coming back down took a while and wasn't easy.
What do I do about Christmas, is it in her best interest to bring her here where I cook for several adults and children, or visit her in the home in the morning and leave her there for lunch and feel guilty.
There is no one else to take her to the toilet and change her but would have help with the cooking.
She is also waiting for a tooth extraction as has an abscess, the appointment is at the very end of December but that is another story.
What do you think please?
Thanks
