Any Suggestions On How To Introduce A Full Time Caregiver Into My Mother's Home Without Her Throwing A Temper Tantrum And Kicking Them Out?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My mother-in-law appears to be totally oblivious to the fact that she can no longer care for herself. We have a caregiver coming in for half days but then we take turn with suppers and weekends. She gets extremely angry and hurtful if we try to introduce anyone new. Pounds her fists and stomps and slams doors and kicks everyone out. Stating that this is her home and she will decide what happens in her home. There is no reasoning with her. Help!

Does Anyone Have Any Solutions For Night Wanderers?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My mother has very restless nights, she wakes up between 1am and 5 am and tries to get up out of bed and wander, it can be 2-6x a night. Our worst nightmare happened three weeks ago when she got up and fell beside her bed and had a displaced fracture of the pelvis. She is on the mend but night time is a serious safety issue for us. I have ordered a bed alarm mat that works like a baby monitor that alerts us if she gets up off the pad as well as putting cushioned mats by her bed to cushion a… read more

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭
