New here… needing advice

jdear2003

Hi everyone! I am new to this group and hoping to get some insight and support. My 73 year old mom with stage 4-5 dementia just moved in with my teenage son and I. We both sold our homes and bought one together. I work from home in a full time position. It’s only been a week and I’m exhausted and overwhelmed. She fights me on everything, has breakdowns about being bored and needing people and independence. I’ve explained every time that the doctors say it’s not safe for her to have a level of independence but it’s on repeat. We can’t move her into a home because we just bought this one. Just needing ideas of best ways to get care for her during the days. Or maybe ideas of projects I can give her (that won’t cause issues in the house because attention span is that of a gnat). Thank you so much!!

I’m looking at a senior day care program for my mom ALZ.org can help you find one

I was actually thinking that same thing. My physical therapist recommended that option. Thank you!

I printed out family pictures, and find easy craft projects.
