Dad used to be predictable and always follow routines
All that is changing and he is giving the caregivers a hard time.
He used to take his daily medication religiously. Recently, he refuses to take his meds, at times.
He used to sometimes refuse help with bathing and only bathed periodically. Recently, he has begun to demand that all the caregivers bathe him—even if there is an outside nurse whose job is to bathe him.
He used to remember conversations. Lately, he keeps forgetting that I spoke with his sister’s husband.
He used to accept me paying the bills. Now, he questions why he does not see them.
He even insults and threatens the nigh time caregiver---more and more.
I wish he would spend time outside of his bedroom and entertain himself with television.
I worry about his emotional well being.
