Know that if they have physical problems it will be harder for them to clean the house, stand to brush their teeth, stand to shower. They will not tell you everything or deny everything. They will not answer your questions do you hurt? what is this? who was that? where is this? who called? However they will answer the phone call and tell them anything whats your ss number, your insurance company, who is home with you, are you alone etc.
When your elder is doing this they need to be watched 24/7/365. They know they are the parent and will not do what you want them to do. They will resist so you need to "con" them into what you want them to do. You will also need someone to assist you. Call their insurance and get some info in getting someone to bathe them or do simple chores.
