[quote=Anonymous]Also, I hate to add to your stress, the anethesia from getting scopes could make dementia worse and can set off aspiration pneumonia. See what the Dr. would do if it were his own elder. What does she/he think might cause the bleeding and would you treat it? It's tough. I would consider hiring an geriatric care manager or social worker for when you cannot be there or just to help manage things so you can just be with her. Just avoid the ones who push aging in place or someone who believes more in quantity of life than quality. You need someone who can help you find the best residential care situation and who will know what to advocate for in the hospital and in the residential setting. This is all if you can afford it and would like to do less of her care management and more of just hanging out with her.[/quote]
