Caring for my Mom

Hello all ,
I just joined and new to this site. Reaching out to those whom may have ideas on caring for her. Having a bad day. My Mom is now just entering what I believe to be in the stage six category. Boy it’s a tough one! I just need some support on how to keep her from angry outbursts and what I believe to be hallucinations? Is there any ideas on a solution? Meds that may help? What to say to her doctor on next visit? Thanks 🙏

I'm dealing with same thing. Hallucinations. Calling 911 for no reason. Lashing out at me. My at home life with my mother has become a nightmare. She doesn't appreciate anything I do for her, she's made some bad decisions recently & blames me... Our family knows it's not me that it's her and they want to send her and put her in a home but I don't want that but yet I'm putting my life on hold for someone who doesn't even appreciate me.
I had hoped you had some responses for me to get advice from, bummer.
Hang in there jbird, I know it's difficult!!!
