My mom is forgetting to take her pills more frequently, not everyday but maybe 2-3 times a wk at most. There seems to be a disconnect between the time she starts a task and sometimes what the next step should be to complete the task. She freezes so to speak and goes blank. She is very very distracted and cannot seem to stay on task. I offer to help but she says she ok. She's a very stubborn women so she can be challenging. She's not going to get better is she?
I would let her be as independent as she can be for as long as possible. You and other people can step in where you think she needs help. I have the feeling from what you wrote that you will have a good feel for what she needs and when. I'm glad you found the group. Many people here know what you're going through looking forward.
