Is assisted living an option without a formal dementia diagnosis?
Your mother may not be eligible for an assisted living community. They can take people with very slight cognative issues but if they have unpleasant personality changes as you suggest she may not be accepted. My suggestion would be to visit an assisted living community that has a section for dementia patients. Many communities now have 2 levels of demen tia care. She may qualify for the first level. It doesn't sound, either way, that she should be living alone. Thank you, Donna Q. Robbins
Seek legal advice----I say this so much one might be led to believe I am attorney. Am not, but the legal problems one may find themselves involved in can be very stressful.
Make haste slowly when dealing with these matters.
