Mom is in a nursing home. She sits on the side of her bed all day, doing puzzles. She gets up to go to the bathroom and her closet but that is it. Her feet are swelling terribly. The nursing home has tried to get her to elevate her feet, and wear Ted hose, but she refuses to do either. She has alzheimers and is in the mid stage. Any suggestions on how to get her to cooperate?
Yes, this is going to shorten her life, but perhaps that's what she wants. Look into hospice care.
