Can anyone give any advice please? I've posted on here before about my gran who is 96 and refuses all outside help.
She is obviously severely depressed (along with lots of other issues) and keeps ringing me and another family member in tears, multiple.times a day saying she doesn't want to live. She refuses to see the doctor or move into a retirement community- or even have anyone come in except family in case they steal from her. However harsh it sounds I don't have time to speak to her every few minutes, I'm working and I have young kids to look after. What can I do?
The most frustrating part of the whole thing is that we've found a lovely retirement home where she could be part of a community that I think she could be genuinely happy in but she goes nuts and starts shouting at everyone and point blank refuses to consider the idea when we bring it up. Can anyone offer any advice please? Or failing that has anyone experienced similar? Thank you
