I have a sibling that simply procrastinates and then over-engineers solutions and makes a big deal about self-appointed tasks that don't really help. I wind up doing everything my self, medical visits, supervising aid, paying bills and addressing the small problems that prop up like choking solutions and diaper solutions. He buys vitamin water and just makes visits
My mom is stage 7c alzheimers. Due to disease progression and the likely impact of ceasing mmentine her cognition has really gone down. She cant' find the bathroom, operate her bathroom faucet and doesn't follow showering instructions. I'm thinking a trditioanl dental visit is no longer a good idea but I'd like to do something, possibly an in home visit by a geriatric dentist for at least the near term. Has anyone done this? I have a supplemental part F plan for medicare , will that cover all or part? And what's the best way to arrange it? Reach out to the geriatric doctor who is also concierge or the current dentist or something else?
I switched my mom to a pallative care model being she's late stage. My brain tells me this was absolutely the right thing to do but her memory loss seems to have accelerated 2 1/2 weeks after getting off the drug. She wasn't doing all that great before but I do feel a bit of second guessing myself. Anyone in the same boat. I thoroughly researched this and it seems its fairly standard to take patients off the drug when the disease has progressed this far.
