We care for my 86 year old father in law with fairly advanced dementia.
He is living with us and his wife for the past two weeks after three falls.
He has no interests except the TV eating cups of tea and pad changes. Last few days he keeps asking my husband to change his pad - we keep saying we only did it two minutes ago (literally) should we used tactics to divert his attention elsewhere ? Has anyone else had this ? Ironic thing is he refuses point blank to wash !
Any positive advice please - I did explain my situation in full once on a Facebook site and the first answer was negative and critical which I really didn’t need x
thank you in advance
