My mom is 92 with later stages of dementia and pretty healthy. My mom is taking neudexta, trazadone, and Aricept. She has had UTIs in the past and I have been taking her to the hospital for IVs and that seemed to help.
I just don't know if this behavior with wanting to be in bed is the dementia progressing or something medical and can someone have a good BP and O2 and still have something wrong with her heart.
They say with dementia when they stop eating this will probably be the end. Is this true? joyce
I am a retired banker and watched the turmoil of families who would come in without a clue of their loved ones wishes. It was not all elderly. Get a POA and healthcare directive prepared for yourself as soon as possible. Consult with an attorney.
We all love our mothers and fathers who are elderly. Start making them as comfortable as possible and leave the rest to the professionals and God.
great response. I agree-do what we can and leave the rest to God and the professionals we trust to take care of them.
well said. Words to live by .
Thank you everybody!
