My MIL lives with us. She is convinced people are coming into her room. (She even put powder on the floor to look for footprints).
She thinks we are doing it to make her think she is crazy so we can put her in a nursing home. She is angry and accusing us.
What do we do? I suggested she talk to her Dr., but she won't go.
She, too obsessed that she was being stalked and spied on. It was controlled somewhat by medications but not eradicated. She may even think her doctor is in cahoots with you. You can try the old “you have to go to the doctor or they'll cancel your insurance” ploy. It might work. You can firmly tell her she’s going to the doctor if you have to physically pick her up and put her in the car. You can also go to the Visiting Physicians website and sign her up for home visits. We recently signed up for their services because hubby is bedridden and getting him up and out was extremely difficult. I agree that if she becomes hysterical or violent, call 911.
