My MIL has rapidly declined over the past few years. Mostly a decline in mobility but we’re also concerned about possible cognitive decline too.
Things are getting worse but they can’t seem to see it and make changes to accommodate/mitigate it.
There have been a few incidents which we hoped would act as a wake up call. But so far all that seems to happen is that they talk about making changes then go back to muddling through.
We’re worried that if nothing changes then something really awful will happen such as a bad fall down the stairs etc.
But we don’t know how best to help them face up to the reality of the situation and to do so in a way that may encourage them to make much needed changes, but comes from them wanting to do that vs being browbeaten into it by the family.
Any advice?
