My mum was diagnosed a couple if weeks ago. With vascular dementia. She is 75 and has always been fiercely independent and protective of her privacy. She has been confused aggressive goes wandering and expresses paranoid and delusions. She does not accept the diagnosis, lives on her own and will not accept any help. She has been assessed by mental health team and a care manager who all say they cannot help if she refuses to accept it. They say the only option if she wanders off and we can't find her is to inform police and hope she is sectioned. This seems very hard.
She will not give any of us children poa. She has been prescribed respirodil which helps when she takes it but she is very erratic with it. We are desperate to help her what can we do?
