What to do when mum will just not..do anything, will not wash but is always 'just going in the bath', will not go to the toilet-she knows she needs to because she puts things under her: cushions, clothes, etc. we got her pull-ups but she will not use them. Will not go to bed but sleeps on the floor in front of the fire, this is of real concern as she cannot easily get up nor will she change her clothes even if she does mess them. Last week when the weather was bad I could not get to her for 4 days the sight of both mum and the house was indescribable. Have tried to suggest someone to help in the mornings with personal care or someone to help with the cleaning, No! no one is coming in here.
The only help I have been allowed to arrange is Meals on Wheels, A neighbour to give her daily pills & a gardener.
