[quote=Anonymous]My mother turned 70 this year and is declining cognitively in what feels like a very rapid way. The challenge is that she's historically always been very secret about things so it's difficult to help her navigate challenges when she doesn't give me the full story on anything-ever. She also lives alone and doesn't drive. The most recent challenge I'm having is with dental care. She's always hated going to the dentist and never has received proper cleaning treatments. Whenever she has issues with her teeth, she treats it with orajel until the pain is unbearable and she gets tooth selectively extracted. Recently her mouth got infected and we had to spend thousands on emergency extractions. She'll need dentures and I don't know if Medicare or another senior program can help. She's located in MoCo. There are many other things that I'm trying to navigate, but I'll start with this one.[/quote]
