Morning all,
Since 1st July, we've had a carer come in to put mum's night clothes on, ready for bed. No washing or anything else, just the nightie.
She resisted at first, getting quite agitated, telling them to go, etc, etc. The sw said to give it 6-8 weeks for her to get used to it. She's fine with the morning carer, and seems to go that she will be coming.
The evenings,if anything, are getting worse. When she hears the doorbell she tells me not to let them in,tell them she's out.
She seems to be becoming more resistant ,the noises are blood curdling,shouting, and her physical strength is quite impressive!
The question is, do I cancel them? They are coming, supposedly to ease the stress, but when you have to listen to the carry-on, and most evenings I have to go into the room to try and calm her down, it's even more stressful. It's the same carer most evenings, and she's lovely, but it's probably not fair on her either
