[quote=Anonymous]The wife sounds like she has moderate dementia. Her behavior is on par for someone with dementia. Frankly her husband sounds a little off too, but ultimately you need to remember these are adults who want to be independent and aren't. You're a complete stranger and here you are trying to get then dressed. That's a personal task and sometimes it takes time to build trust with older people. You also if they don't want to get dressed, try and find put why. Are they shy about doing it in frontof you? Are they confused about time of day? Are the clothes uncomfortable? Do they fell like you're trying to rush then and are being pushy? Even if you don't think you are, they might fell like you are and that's what's matters. They're old, they're going to dothings at a snails pace. Also a lot if the old generation don't like to be wasteful and doing laundry all the time, changing clothes week the time is considered wasteful.  This is especially true as confusion sets in. It sounds like you don't have any experience at all with senior care and for that train if say don't keep the job. They need someone who knows what they are doing.[/quote]
