Our Personal Case Studies:
Our story is much like many others. My mother-in-law started having problems with Dementia.
Mom, was only 63 years old. Until this point, she was walking five miles a day, active in church and loved being with her friends (we should all have friends like my mom's)
We lived in a different city and depended on input from those that knew her. Friends noticed she was getting lost on trips she made weekly.
She would say people were visiting her and other delusions that were sometimes
scary to her. She denied everything of course and was stubborn
in accepting help. After several incidents it became clear we needed to take
action for her safety and our peace of mind. We decided to move Mom closer to us.
and moved her into a independent living facility thinking this was a good start
to keeping her safe and happy.
This is where our learning curve began.
Fast forward one year - other problems developed quickly, she started
hallucinating more and losing her balance. We were lost, overwhelmed, and truly had no idea what was happening or what to do next.
Mom, was eventually diagnosed correctly with Lewey Body, a disease that presents worst parts of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s together.
The assisted living facility
she was moved to only few months later was great and offered the intensive care
she needed. Fortunately the facility had two floors.
First floor was for those that needed day-to-day assistance and the second floor was for “memory care”. The first floor was not enough for her in less than a
five months she was moved to memory care floor. We watched someone that was full of life slip away
and it was heart breaking.
My Parents - Dad lived in another town and was also misdiagnosed with
Parkinson's disease. To make sure he was given the proper care, we got a second opinion.
The doctor in Dallas told us he has PSP which is a form of palsy. Soon thereafter, we moved Mom and Dad to Dallas. Their first move was to an apartment facility for less than two months.
This was a mistake, but a needed one to prove to everyone where we needed to be (Dad fell twice).The next move was to an assisted living facility
which only lasted a few months and his care required us to move again. This is
when we discovered residential care homes. Mom and Dad (and their Chihuahua Sandy)
got the all the care needed and we could sleep at night.
