My mom has dementia. She's at the point where we have to fight her to change out of clothes with stains or spills on them. She won't bathe. She won't wash up. She throws a fit every time we suggest getting in-home help. She will sometimes fight me or my dad whenever we try to clean house or whatnot.
My dad lives with her and primarily takes care of her day to day needs. Can he get in trouble for elder neglect if SHE refuses to cooperate? If so, what kind of charges could he face? What would happen to my mom?
and since she is neglecting her self this needs to be done right away. they will help her she would not have a choice. this is too hard on family members.
