My father has struggled with Dementia for about 6 years now. My mom has been his sole care giver. I am in the process of buying a home and moving them to the state where I reside. We are hoping this doesn’t take a drastic turn for him. I can relate to other posts where dementia patients are throwing things away. We can’t keep my dad out of the fridge! He will throw out and pour out items we have just purchased! And when we tell him that he’s done this he gets very irate. We’ll tell him to sit down but he’s right back up again about 30 seconds later. We understand we’re going to have to buy locks for the fridge and freezer. Baby proof everything. When they came for a visit not too long ago he threw out all of my personal things that were on my bathroom counter. I will still have to work so looking into a home nurse for him while I’m away is something we’re gonna have to do to take the stress and pressure off my mom. Does anyone know what the next stage is?!
