I needed to know how to get her evaluated for dementia. I know she had a form of it but want to know what stage she is at. I am in the process of getting her home care but for now it is only for part time. Most of the responsibility will still be mine. Have some private parties that do home health care so will probably use one of them. Trying to determine best time of day to utilize the home care and for how long. Any tips on how to figure this out? She needs to have meals made for her and had some episodes of incontinence. She has a lot of difficulty getting around but refuses to use a walker. Has a cane but forgets it all around the house.
What time of day? I would say mornings to mix-afternoon. Much later could get into sundowning which is difficult even for family that she knows.
