I have seen how ugly that can be. Dementia took my mother.
Hugs and prayers.

My sympathies. A bit of advise: Get her affairs in order now, including a will, power of attorney, asset inventory, funeral arrangements and medical decision making. Be prepared for years of difficulty.I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

Thirded. Get it done now while you can, and get it over with. Keep ALL of the documents in a safe, secure place (and make duplicates of them all in a separate location).

It's all been taken care of. Her husband has had everything in hand since Barb quit being able to speak clearly.
There IS some relatively good news. Apparently at least some of the recent difficulty was due to a bad reaction to an antibiotic she was on for her kidneys. They've changed it now, and there's been an improvement. She'll never be 'neuronormal' again, we know that, but . . . Improvement . . .
