Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
My dh aunt, who has dementia and is on hospice, sleeps or stays in bed almost all the time. She says she doesn’t feel bad, isn’t hungry and just wants to do what she wants which is to Stay in bed. Sometimes she stays in her chair almost 24 hrs. She prefers the bed. She gets up daily to change her clothes, her bed linens as needed and take a bath, take her meds, have a little breakfast, chat a few minutes and then back to bed. All of that only takes about 45 min. She is 94. She has therapy once a week. sees a CNA daily, a nurse once a week and has an aide in the mornings. Her vitals are good. She is loosing weight but slowly. In the past 10+ years I’ve tracked it she fluctuates from 135 to 155, is at 140 now. The only thing she complains about is having to get up. I tell her she gets to do what she wants 95% of the time. How great is that. when Intake her out for a ride, she loves it but doesn’t want to go as a rule. Your moms situation may be totally different from aunts. You didn’t give us enough info to do more than speculate. So my advice, make sure of her condition, speak to her care team, check out things like a UTI and if all is well, accept that she is just tired and winding down.
She is probably tired or bored. My mother 98 year old mother told me she is sleeps because she is bored and nothing else to do. If you find it out of the ordinary I would consult with her doctor.
Shakey, well being 89 your Mom had lived a very long life, and she is tired. It is not uncommon for us older folks to sleep more or nap in front of the TV.
Some sleep out of boredom because there are less things they are able to do.
Now, if this is something that your Mom just started to do, time for you to make an appointment for her with her primary doctor. It could be something as simple as new meds have a side effect of making one tired.
You don't give us much to go on, but could your mom be depressed, and thus sleeping a lot? Or could it be that her medications are making her sleep too much? Or could it be that she is nearing the end of her life, and that is why? These are all questions that you should be asking moms Dr. I know when my husband was nearing the end of his life, he was sleeping around 20 hours a day. If you are concerned that mom might be nearing the end of her life, you may want to get hospice involved, as they will be better equipped to answer any questions and concerns you may have. Best wishes.
