My aunt cut off her tv. She has no tv and no radio in the house. She sits there in darkness. She doesn't want the tv or the radio. I ask her. She just chuckles. I don't know how she stands it like that. I have offered to turn the cable on for her, but no. Also, no social interaction with anyone.
Has anyone experienced this with their loved one? It's bothersome. I don't understand.
Music from her era might be a better idea because it'd be familiar to her. That was the only thing my mom responded to. Before her dementia was too bad she would only watch reruns of The Big Bang Theory because she'd seen every one of them multiple times.
Memory care or senior day care would help provide her with some external stimulation. Memory care definitely perked my mom up quite a bit once we moved her there.
Have you been able to revoke ur POA?
Does she smile? Does she enjoy eating the food she eats?
They all died alone, their choice. We just let them be.
And she might benefit from adult day care a few days a week.
