My mother is early 70s and there's no dementia diagnosis. I was seeing odd behaviours over the past few years but not so much forgetfulness.
There was an episode on Tuesday from her. Her cognitive functioning is on the floor. She's not able to organise it plan anything. Basically I have a sibling living abroad who would like to come home for a few weeks but he has a family now and he would like to take them. Because it's expensive and it's long haul, they need help with accommodation. We have a large spare bedroom where all three of them would fit. My mother is complaining already that it's going to be very cramped and she wants me to source alternative accommodation for them. However we are living in an area with poor housing options and holiday accommodation just wouldn't be available now or it would be too expensive. Her comprehension is 0. Her reasoning is so low too. There's no reasoning with her. She just doesn't want to house his family while they are home.
It hurts me because they are my family too and we live apart and so what if there's a feeling of being cramped, it's only for a few weeks. I'm sure loads more other people put family in a spare room here and there before visits.
Her cognitive functioning and reasoning is on the floor.
