My mother has dementia but is still determined to sort out her own money - which is getting increasingly tricky for us both! She doesn't understand ATMs and thinks she has to go to the bank on the other side of town to get her money out. We have used the Morrisons supermarket ATM (which is much closer than the bank itself) but she thinks the money is coming from Morrisons and not her bank. She wants to move her account to a bank nearer to Morrisons which would be very complicated as all her bills, pensions, etc come out of the current account she has. How do I explain it all to her in simple terms? Luckily, she doesn't go into town on her own now and only gets money out with me.
Thankfully I have PofA for when things get really bad!
