Any suggestions please. My mum was always a relaxed person, who spent plenty of time sitting and listening to music (she is blind)
Since her alzheimers has progressed, she has become so active and restless, and to be honest it's a bit of a nightmare.
I would LOVE for her to spend some of the day sitting down so that at least I can have a rest or do some jobs. Seriously from about 2pm to bed time, she will not sit down for more that about 3 mins and she leaps out of her chair pacing around, grizzling and crying or saying "what shall I do with myself" she is so confused, and I really wish I could find a way to calm her down, selfishly, I need a break, just an hour while she naps so that I can wind down.., Any thoughts?
