My Mom is 90. She lives with my stepdad. They have been married over 40 years. She is constantly accusing him of cheating on her, and telling me outrageous things. WORDS I have never heard her use in my lifetime! I KNOW it's dementia! I have tried talking to her, telling her she is 90 y/o and this is not real, it's part of the aging process, and she could get help. BIG MISTAKE!!!!She raised her fists to me and kicked me out of her house! Told me to go to hell, etc... I have tried in the past to get home care, besides Me and my stepdad doing everything. NOOOO, she will not have it! Says she doesn't want any "sluts" in her house! I am at my wits end! That is why I am typing this! I don't know what to do!
As usual 🙂
Seriously, I personally think that I am going to be better, God forbid, if I am ever in need of help, dealing with males. My personal experience with male nurses has been amazing, best care ever!
Unfortunately, when people are resistant to help it usually takes an accident to make any changes. You just have to pray it's not tragic when it comes.
Kinda figure out where you want her to be for care, prices, availability, services offered, etc. That way when she goes from the hospital to rehab/SNF you will know most of what to expect.
Tough place to be, hugs for all you do.
