peacheslatour December 5, 2017 Share December 5, 2017 (edited) This is to both of you. It's definitely more wrenching in the earlier stages. There are still flashes of their personalities and they do have some abilities to recognize (some) family members. As this progresses, though, they're just not there in any way that's familiar. I can only speak for myself, but at some point the emotion that probably best describes the sadness is more a quality of becoming inured to the situation. If either of you are personally trying to care for them on your own in your own residences, I bow to your devotion. My mother was in a facility and seeing what was physically and emotionally required by the caregivers was eye opening. I could not have done this on my own and I doubt I could have done so even with an in-home aid. I will be very candid, it would have been the end my marriage and I believe that I would have lost my own health and sanity in the process. Thank you, Toomuchsoap. My dad is still able to do many things but he spends most of his time at his club or his favorite restaurant and I'm afraid the club employees and waitstaff have become de facto caregivers. I have health problems of my own and am limited as to how much I can do for him. I am however meeting with a Elder Care specialist tomorrow. It is my hope to get him into care before he becomes too ill. He us the sweetest, loveliest man you'd ever want to meet but he hasn't been taking care of himself the way my mom and I (she died last Feb.) would like him to eg. hygiene. He has given me DPOA and I am the Trustee of his estate so in theory I can force him to get help but I don't ever want to come across as hostile. I love him very much but this feels like I amtrying to swim against the current. Thanks for listening. Edited December 5, 2017 by peacheslatour 13 Link to comment

As some brilliant Prevert pointed out a while ago, who is this s/l for? People our age going through this with their parents? People our parents age who might be terrified of this happening to them? Young people who won't have to deal with this for decades and probably don't give two shits about it? I think, as well written as it is, it's not the right forum for the subject.

The only reason we're getting away with it is that she doesn't realize what's going on. When they first broached this program to us at the hospital, the coordinator and I were sitting beside her bed. She completely freaked out, said we all didn't care about her, we just wanted to put her away, and all other kinds of stuff. The coordinator came to talk to my mom and explain that we were just trying to do what we could because we can't support her anymore. She has since forgotten that conversation. She was evaluated 10 days ago and the conclusion was that she can't make her own decisions anymore. But she was more confused then than she is now. I'm dreading when she figures it out. It's not going to be pretty. My dad didn't like the idea at first of having strangers come into the house. Part of how we first sold him on thinking about it was pointing out that we could have a PSW come in to do housework. Is there a way you can get him help like that at least? Once my dad saw how it made things easier, he was much more open to considering other things. 6 Link to comment

We've spoken to him about the unholy mess that is the downstairs bathroom and he claims not to see it. He has also taken to lying about stuff. Like when they were at the doctor my husband said "Jeez man cut your toenails" and he said he did but next time they were at the docs/ nope not done. The doctor gave my DH a card of a woman who does that sort of work but I haven't broached it with him yet. There's just so many things. Is lying one of the symptoms? 8 Link to comment

After she died they were so nice to him he started going there very day. I meet him there for lunch every Friday and when he leaves the table to use the restroom they talk to me. I gave them all my numbers and I have the manager's and one if the head waitress's. She's the one who called me about the fall. I told him I have eyes everywhere (because I do) and every one of them will rat him out if he steps out of line. I hope it's enough for now to keep him out of trouble. 9 Link to comment

It's actually easier to place someone into a facility out of the hospital. Because my mom was in the hospital, we've been able to put her on a crisis list. My brother said he has a friend who didn't have access to the program we have and has been waiting a couple of years to get their parent into a facility. Maybe this was the best chance your niece had to get your sister the help she needed. Being in the position now that your niece was in (my mom's memory issues started with what has been diagnosed as a small stroke), I can't help but feel for her.

bannana December 6, 2017 Share December 6, 2017 We met with the Alzheiemers Society for counsel. My sis decided, and we sibs finally agreed, that she would take my mom to live with her and her family. Sis wanted to "ease" her into the concept, and have her come for longer visits, discuss it with her, move some stuff, etc. We were all trying to be so respectful of mom. The counsellor told us to lie, tell mom we were going for a visit to my sis' house. Then just never take her back home. At first she kept asking when she was going home, repeatedly, and that got a bit maddening. She even accused of us lying to her! It didn't take long before we realized when she said going back home, she meant to Europe, where she hadn't lived for 55 years. She forgot her home where she lived for 50 years, and forgot the town as well. She forgot her son who lived across the road from her during that time. The move also took a weight off her shoulders. She was living in her house and trying so hard to cope and keep up the pretense that nothing was wrong. She never missed her things. When my sis brought her some personal things like photos of my dad, my deceased brother, photos of us, she got upset because she didn't know who those people were. Another thing. Some caregivers insisted that they would not lie to her, but the reality is you are giving them peace when you lie. Trying to explain things to them, they get agitated and disoriented, and even sad. In our case, it was really quite cruel to tell her the truth. For example, when I told her I was her daughter she got upset because she didn't recognize me. She always thought I was a friend of hers so I just started to go with that. This is just our case, but what happened was, once we decided to move her from her own home, she essentially forgot the last 50 years of her life, within just a few weeks. It was hard for us kids and grandkids to take, but she ultimately was happier then. We quickly learned that it was not about us, or about us keeping her memories alive. It was about giving her peace of mind and as much quality of life as we could. She had wonderful caregivers while she was at my sister's house, both paid and volunteer, and she enjoyed them and they enjoyed her. It was not easy, believe me, but in the end we know we did the right thing. 10 Link to comment
marina to December 6, 2017 Share December 6, 2017 (edited) @bannana Thanks for sharing your experience. It's karma, I guess, that my mom, who wouldn't let us throw anything out even if it was broken, is now going to be in a position where she will only be able to have a few things and if she progresses like your mom did those won't mean anything to her either soon. I've definitely seen the distress and agitation the last month. I wonder how she's going to react when she moves into a facility and nothing is familiar to her. At least now, she recognizes where she is most of the time. Edited December 6, 2017 by marina to too many commas - it's an addiction 8 Link to comment

The Ventura County Fire is a nightmare; it's got the city scared spitless. I was at the antenna today, and looking down on to the fire areas in the city -- It's horrifying. I still have my car packed with emergency supplies. There is a fire north where we live in Burbank, but it's on the other side of a burned out area from the September La Tuna fire. The best anyone can do is keep track of the situation with the CalFire app, carry your phone charger and try to remain calm. 5 hours ago, PatsyandEddie said: marina to, subterfuge is extremely important.

My grandmother's best friend, a lady I grew up with, is in the final stages of Parkinson's Disease. Stella was a gifted tailor and dressmaker, putting her three children through college with her earnings. Her husband, Will, adored her until the day he died. It's been heartbreaking watching her fade into the ether of Parkinson's. I've not been tested by the effort, concern, subterfuge, frustrations, and grief you all are facing in caring for your parents. You are heroic, Your courage in the face of your parent's cognition being taken away by disease is humbling. None of this is possible without all of us trying to work life out together. Our friendship, our willingness to lift each other up when one of us is wounded, our strength in laughing at the darkness as we reach for the light ... these are the gifts we give freely to each other. You are my people, and I ask God to be with you always, in good times and bad. 11 Link to comment

If I had gotten the job it would have meant a raise and different responsibilities. I got an e-mail today about applying for another job from the director of that division in corporate -he's basically an efficiency expert and compliance guy- and needs weekend support for store audits and training classes. I'm not sure it would even mean a raise as much as "cache" big deal I'm tired of the pat compliments and want results that affect my life. 11 Link to comment

Stay frosty; continue to make everyday at your job an opportunity to serve your customers graciously, working toward facility improvements and cost-savings. Document, read industry periodicals, attend industry shows/conventions and classes, get to know your vendors better, research grocery marketing of your competitors, ask questions of your customers (My grandmother loves her local grocery store program assisting seniors in-store), engage your co-workers to join your work ethic, make a point of a clean and organized facility and parking lot (This is a pet peeve of mine, along with incorrect pricing), is there a niche your store or company doesn't serve -- I know you're working hard and already doing many of these things, but if you want to surmount what you think is holding you back, you have to up the ante. Test your ideas independently. Write a business proposal, and then blow your own horn ... Don't count on anyone else to credit what you have done. Women have to do twice as much to get half the credit. The only way you change the corporate bias is to show and tell management exactly what you know, what you've learned from your experience, how you want to integrate that knowledge, and how it improves the bottom line for the future of the company. There's a lot of competition in the grocery business, so that means there are a lot of opportunities to retain customers through service, products, and quality. I believe in your capabilities and qualifications. Put them to the test for your own sake. It will benefit you, and your store in the long run. 9 Link to comment
