It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I am confused what to do. I also have a blind mother whom I don't live with. I am now thinking about leaving my grandmother to go rent a room for me and my 6 year old son. Please advise.
Vicky says it's age decline. If this is something new, than Gma could have a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). She could be diabetic. Lots of things cause things like this. Need to get her to her Doctor.
There are definitely lots of causes for this - could be a UTI, could be neurological, could be lack of oxygen to the brain...definitely time to get that checked out.
My ex's father and mother lived with us until his father's death from cancer. In FIL's later days, he experienced hypoxia (lack of oxygen) due to his COPD and cancer. During his "low times", when the hypoxia would kick in, his mind would kind of go off the rails, and I was his favorite target. We usually ran through this whole bag of tricks:
1) I married his son for money. (Riiiiight.) 2) I was a prostitute. 3) I was a witch and had put a spell on his wife that made her not listen to him. (Actually, she just got tired of his B.S. after a lifetime of abuse at his hands and finally verbally stood up for herself because she knew he couldn't get up and come after her.)
I actually had to pretend to "take the spell off" of his wife at one point, because he insisted I had bewitched her - and if I took it off, we'd be friends again. Sooo, I walked up to my MIL, called her name, and when she looked up, I waved my hands at her and said, "BOOGAH BOOGAH!" - she thought I'd lost my mind! I went back and told him the spell was off, and he was happy. The things we have to do sometimes....
Just trying to inject a little humor into an otherwise difficult and sometimes very grim situation. Seriously, though - get your grandmother checked out ASAP. There are a lot of things that could be causing this - it may not be just dementia.
