I am here. My screen name is how I refer to caring for my mother! We are 4 in our team. No one can stand being with my mother more than several days a week.
We are certainly not ‘professionals’ in the commercial sense but we truly are now, in the practical sense. We are constantly searching for answers, advice and solutions. The doctors, up until last week, have been of no help. It’s really shocking how lacking they are in experience and knowledge with dementia. Pills are NOT the answer.
My mother will be 90 soon. We have been taking care of her, at home, for 4 years. Last week, we finally pleaded our way into seeing a palliative care doctor, who understands.
A month ago, in our search for help, we arranged a home visit by a hospice organization. Our trust was betrayed by those ‘professionals,’ whose only mission was to try to bully their way into my mother’s life and monies. They threatened me with Adult Protective Services. It is such a travesty to prey on caregivers! This dementia beast has made me into a stronger, protective fighter. We as caregivers, are my mother’s only protection while she is in this vulnerable state. In addition to protecting my mother’s safety in her home, now I need to defend against scam artists. Hospice and adult care scam artists are evil heartless people. I reported that Hospice organization. Their bullying ‘sales pitch’ was morally wrong.
