My DM who seems well mentally is really struggling to coordinate eating at our Easter lunch food went everywhere. Is this a sign of something? She is struggling with mobility too

I would contact her gp and request an occ therapist referral who can look at mobility and possible aids.

Her doctor is useless, she is 81 and in poor health. It's just a horrible decline, I feel so sorry for her but everything from standing up to eating is a huge effort.

I'd try and get a GP appointment for her too, if you've noticed it then the chances are it might be something that is concerning her but she is afraid to say/do anything about it.

Sounds worrying.... worth a gp visit? How old is she?
