welll i fully agree-but-none of us are in a position to take her in--she lives in a very nice assisted living facility--i vist her at least 4-6X/week: talk with her, take her to lunch,. shopping, for short drives etc. I also do all her shopping and take her to all appointments....
i think this is a case of worsening depression---a tough call-as most doctors treat this with drugs....i amy try a geriatirc psychiatirc referral to see if therapy can help at this point.
trouble is---mum does not want to do anything: socialise with other people, attend events which her facilitry hosts nearly everyday....her eyesight/hearing is poor and i know that limits her-and-makes her self concious....
as is see it-nursing home is very last resort--as they simjply drug patients to keep them quiet-sit them in wheelchiars-and collect $10,000 per month ----i detest nursing homes and am trying my best to avoid that option!
