About Alzheimers

Miz D asked:


My neighbor with this diagnosis of Alzheimer’s/Dementia is being left at home alone for several hours at a time. Should this be a cause for concern? I wouldn’t want to cause trouble for her son, her caretaker. Please tell me what you think. Do I just need to mind my own business?
I did suggest to her son that Home Care services were available to assist him with taking care of his mother but he said she would not allow “strangers” into the house.

It might be too late when it happens, bcoz you wouldn’t know what is going on. Is this possible?
I don’t mean just turning off life-support after an accident, I mean putting a person out of it like we would do for an animal out of kindness. I certainly wouldn’t want to live with Alzheimers.

My father is at the point where he curses me. Gets in my face and says F888 you! Tries to hit me. My mom feels it is wrong to put him in a home but I am scared he is going to hurt me or her. He fabricates things. He wont bathe for wks at a time. He wont take his meds like he should. He is also a diabetic and has cirhosis of liver. Help if you have any answers and have experienced this.
