I have POA over my distant Uncle, with whom I was never very close, although I have been responsible for him since he was sectioned about three years ago. He is now in a residential home with advanced Alzheimer’s/dementia. Up until now he has been very happy with everything, although he did become very agitated and aggressive with my brother and refused to allow him to visit. I visit him on a weekly basis and we had become quite close and I thought all was well, but yesterday he accused me of stealing all his money, he called me trash and threatened me with legal action. I was so shocked and upset- I know it’s not him, it’s this dreadful disease. My questions are these.... how badly will my presence upset him if I continue to visit - is this a bad thing? Staff there told me this is normal and that he would ‘get over it’. How long will this last? I’m his only visitor and I don’t want to abandon him, but I can’t just keep going if I’m upsetting him so much - I work so hard to make sure his money is working to keep him in the best home I can find, it’s like being slapped in the face. Apologies for the rant.... just needed to vent
