Hi! I am taking care of my grandmother who has Alzheimer's for more than 10years and Bedridden for 4 years. Currently i just noticed that her bowel is not that regular but she has regular eating (thru feeding). Sometimes she resist also to drink her water. She doesnt have a regular sleep. She always awake during night time. I would like to know if this is a normal case for alzheimers patient. Thank you.
How long have you been looking after your grandmother? Perhaps the best thing would be to talk to everyone else who has been involved in her care, and try to get a clear picture of what is normal *for her.* Then it will be easier to notice any changes and report anything that is worrying you to her medical and nursing teams.
Look for the book "The 36 hour day" it is a great help
