Hi guys
I do realise with dementia the ability to dress declines as does showering. My mum wne tinto a carehome post a fall and has been there just over 6 months.
I go into visit her and she is smelly (urine) and is wearing dirty clothes even when they know we are coming. I'm deeply worried but when I mentioned it the carestaff didn't take it very seriously, they said they give her her independence.
Thing is shes constantly getting UTIs and is looking more tramp than mum, I am not happy about this lowering of her hygene standards but trust you guys will tell me straight.
Am I expecting too much or is this lack of care as I feel it is?
