Thread Name: Help: calming an Old Lady's daughter
Subject: RE: Help: calming an Old Lady's daughter
the situation is resolving, the mother is not fit to look after herself and can't remember anything after 5 minutes. She is aware of her memory loss when faced with evidence but not aware until. The daughter rang me and left a message to the effect that mother had been to hospital for a check-up after a fall. No hint of repremand. Phew that was easy, really. I was there when mother returned and she had to be shown the scratches to be reminded of any of it. care home is permanent as I see it. The dog knew the way in from the car park and enjoyed the fuss, so yes benefits all round. It is good for me too, makes you feel reall worthwhile. I think we can declare it win, win, win, and "no comment as yet" Must dash - off to the Bridgnorth FF - the care home is en route. Thanks friends.
