My mother has advanced alzheimers. She cannot walk, cannot feed herself, has no control of her bladder and bowels, cannot verbilize - she just mumbles. Just recently, she seems to be trying really, really hard to say something, but just can get it out. Also, her mumbling is now so low, you can barely hear her. It this alzheimer related?
coaching...anticipate words, needs
kindness...tell her you understand the difficult time she is having
hugs,,,say a lot
Do your best, sing, and tell her things you "think" she wants to hear and pretend you understand her. Most of all tell her that you love living together and how you love taking care of her (even thou there is no harder job in the world). Good luck
God bless you and your mom.
For $25 I suspect it may also help your mother to speak. It helped me. I bought mine on Amazon.
