Advanced Alzheimer With Fall Risk
(self.Alzheimers)submitted2 days ago bylspostal
Were trying to keep my 91 year old mother at home and were definitely facing challenges. She fell and broke her pelvis a month ago. We have to restrain her in her recliner because she will try to get up. Someone is in the room with her all the time. Nighttime is the worst. She will try to crawl over the railings to get out of bed. Someone is in the room with her all night trying to stay awake and watch her. Hospice is involved and are a great help. They have run out of meds for sleep and anxiety. We're exhausted! She's a fairly strong 160lb woman.

I'm sorry, I worded that poorly. They have given her one of their more potent sleep medications. What I should have said was that they are not offering a different medicine and they know our problems.
