Hello all.. I posted here last year when my Mom was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease and Lewy Body Dementia and was very grateful for the advice and welcome I received then. I'm back today looking for more advice please. The PD appears to be secondary to the dementia which seems to have progressed very quickly. My Mom moved into a nursing home in late August.. she believed she was going in for respite for a few weeks but it was actually a longterm move. Even though she had home help and family dropping in during the day, there was no way we could leave her at home alone any longer. She appeared happy and very contented in the home and is definitely well cared for but she fell last month and broke her elbow which resulted in a short hospital stay. Since then, she seems to have regressed, she now needs to be fed and does not make much sense any more when she speaks . Mom was always a big lady but has lost so much weight in the past few years it's frightening. She eats well but .. and, at last, I'm getting to the reason for my post... she appears to be agitated a lot of the time and just can't stay still. She needs a carer with her at all times and they cannot take their eyes off her or she darts away. They are afraid she will fall and hurt herself again. They called this morning and asked us to come in to discuss the possibility of using restraints on her... not all the time but maybe to try to get her to sit still for a while and see how it works. A carer would be with her still. We love the home she is in and all staff/carers are wonderful with all the residents.. we know they are interested in Mom's welfare ... but have some reservations. Has anyone any experience this "walking frenzy" my Mom seems to have? How have they dealt with it? Is it part of the progression of Lewy Body dementia? What comes next? This is so hard ... I hate this disease . Thank goodness my Mom seems to be oblivious to what is going on with her. Any advice/ words of wisdom greatly appreciated. Sorry this is so long.
