My mother-in-law is 98 years old and for the most of time her thinking is clear and very sharp but you throw in some dementia and you have a mess. She is hard to reason with. How do you handle situations like living arrangements where everyone can be happy, healthy, safe and comfortable . Right now she is being selfish and a spoiled brat.
To be brutally honest, I haven’t seen any posts from people who are living with/caregiving for a person with dementia and say that everyone is happy, healthy, safe and comfortable. It’s a very difficult journey. The people with dementia can make their caregiver’s life a living hell. Help is invaluable, whether it’s family or hired. It helps prevent burnout and makes the whole situation easier to bear.
