Mum Has Started Biting Her Nails. Anyone Else Experienced This?
Mum moved in with us last year. She seems settled and very happy, and others comment on how well she is looking.

Mum was present on the many occasions when we sorted through everything and we have moved familiar furniture and many, many items into her room. Mum only sleeps in her room, otherwise she spends her days with us. During this… read more

Has Anyone Dealt With The Altsheimers Sufferer Wrapping Their Poo Up In Toilet Paper And Hiding It In Their Bedroom
My mom has started wrapping up her poo in toilet paper and hiding it in all different places in her bedroom. When I find it and question her she tells me the doctors asked her to collect it so they can run tests to help people live longer. I can't understand this action because my mom is the most cleanliness conscious person I know. If anyone has experienced this and has found a solution I would love to hear from you. Being a teacher I think I have a lot of patience and deal well with most… read more

Getting My Precious Mother With Alzheimer To Shower.
Getting My Precious Mother With Alzheimer To Shower.
I am the daughter of a sweet mother (88) with dementia. I can absolutely not get her to bathe. She insists that she just took a shower when it has been at least 4 weeks since her last one. I have tried everything I can think of: telling her we will have a spa day and I will help her if she wishes. I bought her a nice shower mitt and shower gel and a stool to sit on while in the shower. I have tried a calendar showing her the last time she showered. She gets very angry and nothing I can do or say… read more

Hearing Aids And Memory Loss
I think my Mum (86 with moderate-to-advanced Alzheimer's) needs hearing aids. However, Mum and Dad have no insurance coverage for them, and with Mum's total memory loss and hiding of things, we're worried that she'll just immediately lose them. I was thinking of getting the type that has to sit in a charging station overnight as one way of preventing their loss. But that won't guarantee against her taking them out in the daytime and hiding them somewhere. Any suggestions? She can't really hear… read more
