Hi all
My mother has suddenly declined following a long stay in hospital and is now experiencing nighttime hallucinations. She is at home on palliative care. Having read the research on the website, I think she has DLB.
I will discuss this with our GP as I don't want to over medicate her especially on anti psychotics. I am a mental health professional myself.
I'm wondering if a visual nighttime mobile would be helpful, to calm the more distressing hallucinations, or harmful? Does anyone have any experience?
She can go for up to three days with no sleep!
Any advice would be welcome
