My mum lives on her own and is stubbornly defiant about her condition. She cannot cook she cannot use the microwave she often goes to Tesco's to buy one random thing she has eaten raw chicken she has thrown food away that I've bought for her and put in the fridge. The only time that I know she eats is if I or a friend sit down with her to eat or witness her eat . Nightmare. She is deemed to still have mental capacity but she is neglecting herself because she doesn't recognise that she has to eat and drink. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place because Mum needs the support but she refuses it and I cannot provide sufficient support on my own. She's already had a couple of falls which I believe are related to dehydration and lack of food. Help.....
