I Look after my father of 80 years+ who has alzheimer's for about eight years he still dresses himself and makes a drink. My mother and I are at times finding it very difficult as she is in her 80's but mobile but we are going to bed exhausted and a headache we hardly find anything good to laugh at anymore.
My father is always arguing whatever we say he replies by saying the same old thing I do this for you and that , I work my fingers to the bone,( but does not do anything). He wants to die, he talks non stop to himself. At least he does not go out walking anywhere. He constantly is in and out of the the toilet before he has to go out.
We cannot get to him to have a bath and showers are definite no what is the best way for us to get him to wash.
Is there any advice why he constantly has to talk to themselves how to deal with a situation when he gets angry as we know we are going to get an ear full and then upset us and we know there is no good reasoning with him walking away does not help as he follows us and talks through the door.
