I currently live in an ALF. I was dx'd with early onset dementia about ten years ago. Within the past couple of years I have been having delusions, tend to get agitated easily, I don't want to bathe or get dressed. I won't go to dining room for meals; Prefer to make something for myself. I also have IBS, from having gall bladder removed, and it is a concern to me because I don't want someone else having to clean up me or my messes when they occur. My daughter doesn't think I have dementia. When do I need to go into memory care?
Ten years, thats long for Dementia, but not Alzheimers. The AL can evaluate and tell you if its time for Memory care.
Instead I think your forum name says it all. You're just a Nosy Rosy, who for whatever reason felt the need to pretend to be someone they're not.
And if it's a family member or friend that you're being "nosy" about, I can only imagine that the ALF would make it clear to this person that it's time to move to memory care.
If your daughter doesn't think you have dementia, then how does she explain the medical diagnosis, the aggitation, delusions and all the other very common symptoms? What is she doing to help you address those problems if she thinks they originate from another illness? Have you at least been checked for a UTI?
If it were you posting for yourself, for example, you might also be able to tell us what you don't like about bathing, dressing, or going to the dining room, and what triggers the delusions that at other times you recognize as being delusions.
Never mind, it doesn't matter - so Daughter doesn't think you (or the person) have dementia. What does Daughter think is going on?
What advantages would Memory Care have for you/person over and above the current level of support, do you think?
