Mom was diagnosed with memory loss in 2016. Now she is in Hospice bed ridden not eating doesn’t say one thing that makes sense. Anxiety is really bad. It's like how can she have gone from walking with walker to this. Was putting her in hospice made this illness worse? I’m so confused???
I worked to a nurse facility. They always talked about "episodes". A Dementia client was good one day and overnight went down hill so yes your Moms sudden decline can happen. I would wonder, though, if she is taking too many meds. My RN daughter says medications don't leave the body as quickly in the elderly as they do in younger people. So there becomes a build up.
I just looked up the meds Mom is on. I question the Memantine, its for cognitive. There comes a time Meds like this don't make a difference when you enter the later stages. I may question the use. Zoloft is for depression. Seoquel is for depression. Xanax is for anxiety as is the CBD and THC is sleep. I didn't look up the side effects but there is a lot of meds that do the same thing. I can see the anxiety meds but does she really need the depression at this point. I would question the use of so many meds. They could be integrating with each other.
