My 90 yo MIL lives with us in our home. She's been with us 8 months and as these things go, it has been ok.
She is diagnosed mid/moderate mixed dementia. She doesn't cook, clean, drive, etc. But, is able to handle her own self-care.
She's been able to bathe herself but lately she has mentioned she gets dizzy when bending over.
I'd like to hire an aide to help with bathing and hair washing once a week but MIL is pretty resistant. I know she is financially able to pay and I know it's not about being shy with strangers.
She says she's afraid of theft. But, I doubt this is the real reason.
I also know I'm not willing to handle all her hygiene needs as she worsens.
When did you decide to get in home help?
Thank you
