My mother has been claiming things are happening, and some may or may not be true. I know for a fact this one is not true because she told my sister the whole story and I was apparently an onlooker when my husband threatened to kill her. she no longer will come to my home and is isolating herself further because of this. My spouse hadnt seen my mom for weeks before this event, and now she stays home too much
My mother lived in an assisted living facility. The worst part was my worry that someone would believe her, or, even worse, she WAS being abused and I was shining her on! As far as someone believing her, most care workers, social workers, doctors, and nurses, know what is happening and are well trained enough to consider the source.
It would be great if it was a UTI or medication, because those make the problem a little more solvable, so a talk with the doctor is always a good idea. Sometimes medications build up in the elderly's system and result in bizarre symptoms.
You haven't filled out your profile to show what impairments your mother has. For example, has she been diagnosed with dementia?
I think the best action right now would be to have her evaluated by a doctor.
