Hi all
I would be grateful for some advice my mother has AD which is progessing unhindered because she refuses medication. This has resulted now in very little lucidity, she is virtually taken over by the hallucinations, sense and logic now appear to be a thing of the past. Recently she has had hallucinations involving the kettle blowing up she then decided as a result of this she would take the plug apart. In reality their is nothing wrong with the kettle, she also takes all the seat cushions out of her chairs because she has an hallucination that a niece who is a grown woman over 50 is coming in an wetting the chairs!
She also believes that the food I buy her comes from the neigbour again she has hallunciations that this woman is trying to put her back in hospital. ( she spent 4 months in hospital as a result of spending a night in the garage) So she believes the food is poisoned and throws it away.
My mother lives alone am I obliged to inform her insurance company that she suffers from Alzheimers disease? Also I take it that the food being poisoned is like all the other halluncinations very little can be done about it? I have tried to tell her that I buy the food but she just rants on that I am in collusion with so and so to put her back in hospital and that she is perfectly sane!!!!!
