I’m reaching out as a daughter who is facing a unique challenge with my elderly parents, and I could use some advice. My primary concern revolves around my mom’s reluctance to get dressed. This situation is complicated by her dementia diagnosis and is ultimately hindering my dad’s ability to leave the house.
My mom doesn’t feel up to getting dressed, and my dad often has to miss out on family events as a result. He asks me to convince her to get dressed so they can go out together. It saddens me that they’re missing out on things and we don’t know how much time we have left with them.
