[quote=Anonymous]Look for a new doctor, preferably one who specializes in dementia. My mother’s doctor (at a midwestern teaching hospital’s geriatrics practice) was very much an advocate for meeting my mother’s need for care, taking away her car keys, etc. as her Alzheimer’s progressed. In fact it was the doctor who pushed my father to get more help (and ultimately place her in a memory care facility) when he was still in denial about his ability to keep her safe at home. This journey is hard enough on its own. Having a doctor obstructing your desire to help a parent with dementia is not sustainable. [/quote]
