She made her wishes clear before this dementia/Alzheimer's took over. But I still have to address her needs as her caregiver, at least as long as I am able to. Does anyone have ideas on ways to get her to spit it out or alternatives? I tried some basic otc medicines, but she refuses to take those and of course, has no problem just spitting them out immediately, as they taste bad to her.
When my mom is anxious or agitated I find she calms down a bit if we say the Lord's Prayer together - whenever I was sick as a child she would sit on my bed and comfort me and so I try to do the same for her now.
