Hello there,
I am my 88 Year old Grand mother's caretaker. I have had her for 5 years. One day she went to the hospital for being dizzy and fell out of their hospital bed and broke her hip. We have had similar struggles together. The medication's that the doctor's prescribe that are narcotic were causing some of the same behavioral issues with my Grams. You may want to check into her medication and see if any of these medication's may be having the adverse side effects on her. My Grams was on Narcotic Pain Medication, she became very volatile, and accused me of things like that as well. We are doing much better.
