Hi just getting the hang of TP,its the second time ive posted. Im in a bit of a dilema i care for my mum who has dementia, mum has recently been on exelon(week tomorrow) and this last week she seems to have got worse, she has carers going in at 5pm they have just recently started (carers go in mornings& evenings too. Last Wednesday arter carers had gone mum went outside to her friends house crying sayin she had been burgled she was going to phone the police, but mum finds it hard to use the phone now. My brother who lives near came up but he does not handle the situation w. ell. the next day mum was found wandering down her st after the carers had gone, she wont eat the food they give her says they throw it on the floor says they take her tablets, say they bring children in, she gets really distressed, says they are upstairs. Mum has seen things before like cats& people but has not been scared. She gets upset & says no one believes her! Last night her evening carer rang my brother to say mum was being akward& would not get undressed for bed, so my sister-in-law & brother had to go up & see to mum. Sorry to go on i rang social care direct yest, but they said have to get on to mums social worker tomorrow, dont know if its the exelon, will ring thememory clinic too.
