Mom does crossword puzzles in the morning,after her breakfast with caregiver who is a family member.Then goes to the couch and sleeps til noon,has lunch on couch cause kitchen is too cold,according to mom.Then she sleeps til 3pm,then gets up and starts going back and forth to the bathroom at least 20 times or more.Drives caregiver crazy.Caregiver starts supper,mom used to set table but doesn't anymore.Come time to eat,mom sits down and lets her food get cold,by looking out the window and them tells caregiver she is not hungry or eats very little.Small portions are given,cause if too much food is on plate,she complains it's too much.Caregiver is discusted an trys to mircowave food to keep warm.After a while,caregiver throws food in garbage can.Tension is between them both.Caregiver say's she can't afford to put mom into a adult program.She is at witts end,and tells mom "You are driving me crazy" I have no life anymore...Got any suggestions?
