From a previous post, our aunt has an appt. for an assessment with the Area Agency on Aging. This AM we showed up to check on her and found her wandering around her apartment looking for someone to help her get her bra on. Of course, there was no one there. She was crying and almost hysterical. We thought of just calling the ambulance to come take her, but then my cousin said if she seems ok when they come and her vitals are good, they probably wouldn’t take her and we wouldn’t be charged for the call. Yesterday, we called around to a few local nursing homes and are waiting to hear back, but we need to do something sooner rather than later. Sorry, at this point I am sure I am just rambling.
This could be as simple as a UTI, as complex as a stroke or dementia. She needs medical eval now. Call 911. Hope you will update us. Good luck.
If you find your Aunt hysterical & wandering around looking for help again in the future, I would definitely call 911 and have them transport her to the ER for an assessment THERE as to what's going on! Don't make assumptions yourselves about anything, that's my advice.
Good luck!
