Caregiver for my Mom (79). Has chronic illnesses/Rheumatoid, diabetes. She also has horrible incontinence but now sometimes justs lets it go and does not even get up to use the restroom. Says she doesn't have the energy. I explained that she must eat to get energy - protein; also mentioned Ensure to get additional calories but she is refusing the Ensure. I am at my wits end. Need some guidance.
Does she have dementia? Why is she incontinent? Does he really not have the energy or does not have the ability to control it?
Thank you so much for responding to quickly.
