[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can she live with you? I am crying reading this. [/quote] OP said she needs medical supervision because she will not take her medicine. It's not something a child can do for a parent. I know what I'm talking about, because I tried it and it was exhausting and unsuccessful. Eventually my mom came to like the facility and a year later everything is going much better. Sometimes you can't have your parents with you, even if you really would like them there. [/quote] If she doesn't want to take her medicine she should not be forced to. [b]Adults can make their own decisions.[/b] [/quote] A person with dementia is not capable of making informed or reasoned decisions.[/quote] That's why the wishes of older adults should be recorded before dementia sets in, then honored. The eldercare industry is keeping many people alive long past the time when they would wish to be sustained. [/quote]
