You can look into getting PCA's to help you with her care depending on how much she needs it. Call a local nursing care aid agency in the phone book. Medicaid will help pay for this. They come into the house and give baths/feed, etc. Best wishes, Naia oh, also. You can look into getting PCA’s to help you with her care depending on how much she needs it.

I have a mom that I have been taking care of for 3 years now. I have to battle the doctors to decrease her medications because she cannot tolerate high doses of medications. At night...since I had a doc who took her oof low dose klonipine when she was trying to "EXIT" seek/wander off...I give her Tylenol PM or a Benadryl to slow her down and it usually helps after about 30 mins to put her to sleep. This will keep them from wandering off late at night!!!! It works! Good luck it is tough. Is your Mom on medications? I have a mom that I have been taking care of for 3 years now.

I was living nearby before and noticed over several years time the confusion and stress it was causing her. The first year she was angry and combative about everything - except toward her grandchildren. Teenagers both, I explained as much as I could and they were afraid at first. But a year later our family has blended in to her home. We try not to disrupt her daily life. Actually the only one who doesn't understand is my husband. I am blessed with a wonder ful mother-in law and the way her kids treat her as she faces some of the same issues is sad. My husband included. I am beginning to suspect him of Sundowner's at age 51 because he gets angry if I try to talk to him in the evening. And he can't understand that the elderly just might suffer from anxiety and are unable to control this behavior Like my life could get any weirder. I'd love to put him in a home.
