[quote=Anonymous]How compliant is your mom? Does she have self-awareness? If she will go along with it set up a full evaluation. More can be done to slow things when caught early. I will tell you these dementia screeners at the general doctor's office are garbage IMO and don't seem to pick it up until they are far along, but if you can't convince her to get a full evaluation, you can request the doctor do a screen. We saw quite a bit of decline before mom get red flagged, but at least you get the ball rolling for all future visits. You can hire a geriatric social worker to check in on them periodically and increase visits when needed. If they refuse anything and it gets worse and she refuses any help, you can have Adult Protective Services check on her. [/quote]
