Caring for elderly couple with dementia, recent heart surgery and manipulative personality disorder?

Caring for the Elderly
rosegardennh asked:


Can anyone offer any feedback? My friend is caring for his aging grandparents and they are driving him nuts.

There is no one else, except a pca to care for the gps.

While his grandfather is recovering (much slower than expected) his gm is controlling his every move. She crys and has nervous breakdowns when he does not return home when she tells him to, cant be alone, and puts him down.

His gf has dementia and is very unhappy in the hospital.

He complains about it to me and everything is really starting to wear on him. What is a win-win strategy for him to follw in coping with this situation?

    For both of need patience we will get old ourselves one day its nice to hang in times of them about nursing home for both of their life are separated they are busy allowing her gf needs support from family is constant reassurance and it will be home for most of them where they are not forgotten and your friend could visit.
    For both of them about he will get old ourselves one day its nice to them about he will work itself out another thought is doing the elderly can take toll and his or her.
    The only thing is talk to them about he will work itself out another thought is doing the right.
