[quote=Anonymous]I forgot to ask the most important question. Is there money to throw at this-either their money or yours? if so, spend on getting them the level of care they need and then try to keep visits light and pleasant. If they are difficult they will complain about any care-giving that isn't from him, so just accept that. Work with a case manager to assure they get decent care and then there are many ideas to keep any visits lower stress and more enjoyable: pick convo topics that keep it light, spent time outside in a garden and comment on nature, ask them to share favorite stories from their youth, look at old photos. If it is all negativity, just show up, bring a favorite food or flowers, stay for 10 minutes and leave if you cannot move it a decent direction. You find what works for you and doesn't do it you in.[/quote]
