My mom is not putting her clothes in the hamper for me to launder anymore. She has been washing them out I guess in her tub by hand. Anyone have any idea why someone with middle stages of dementia would start doing this for no reason. I told her that the dish detergent or shampoo she was using would give her an infection but she still does not listen and is still washing by hand. I bought her some cold water detergent like woolite yesterday since I can't get her to let me do the laundry. She lives with me and I keep going upstairs to get her laundry and there is none. Is it ok to just let her wash them by hand or should I do something?. She can no longer remember how to use the washing machine and I think that is part of the problem and she does not want to add more to my plate...
Try to take care of yourself, too,
