Mum, 60, has early-onset Alzheimer's. Three years in now. She spends every day ranting, swearing, shouting, screaming. Won't wash, won't brush teeth, refuses to take tablets, sometimes incontinent, carers are saying they might not come round any more because she's so aggressive, she's been tested for UTI but all clear and doctors say they can't change any of her medication. We can't stand this any longer. Alzheimer's websites talk about living a "good life" but this is a constant hell. Is the time right to think of a care home? Would they even take her like this? And does anyone have any experience of getting power of attorney. My dad (her main carer) is trying to get it sorted but it seems to take for ever.
Sorry for all the questions, just really need some help and advice! Any responses massively appreciated.
