My 84 year old mother just formally diagnosed with dementia due to Alzheimer's . I went to an Elder Care lawyer prior to this and had Durable POA and Healthcare Directives put in place. I know I need to sell her car and get rid of other things. I have Aid and Attendance paperwork started from her Neurologist and I'm frozen with fear. I feel horrible because I was told this had been going on for more than five years!!! Why didn't I see this?? I don't know what to do next. She's been living with me almost four months and she thinks it's a few weeks!
Anyone out there that can offer some suggestions?
SO many similar stories let me know I'm not alone!!
Especially the ones that tell of "normal" behavior with others !wow!
Today has been terrible...in the ER again!!
Found out mom broke her toe and no one knows how...especially mom!! Sigh!!
