Is there a way to know what stage of Alzheimer's on person is at? Are there signs to differinate between early stage and late stage. I help my husband care for his mother who has yet to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's but show all the signs of it. Her doctor has
only went as far as diagnose her with deminita....She takes Aricept, Namenda, and Razadyne....Her doctor now has put her on a nighttime pill of Risperdal.
The care is becoming increasingly difficult, she does not understand the dangers of the road in front of the house and you can not explain to her it either. I do what I can but she has anger issues where I am concerned and I do not know why. So I do what I can with the household chores, making sure there is laundry soap in the machine so the clothes get clean, I cook the meals and I dispense the medicine on a monthly basis.
Any guidance would be appreciated. She is extremely paranoid with the outside world looking in her back porch windows to the point she will spend hours adjusting and readjusting the blinds that cover those windows. She also has an obession with making her bed, this is to the point of pure aggravation for her, she will spend hours and I mean hours making this bed??
Thanks for any assistance or guidance.

Thanks Carol
I appreciate the help -- I have to admit I really don't know how much longer my husband and his siblings are going to be able to care for his mother. I clean the house and cook the meals and that is about it. She is so full of hatred that I am not able to
commuincate with her effectively. I grew up in a house full of hate and abuse and can not take it from her.
So I do what needs done in the shadows, I am the one she says is stealing from her and moving her things around on purpose, with that said I don't how much more of the house cleaning I will be doing either. I feel like I am letting my husband down but I have no other choice, she is already acting as if she is going to get violent.
Thanks for your help
