The latest issue with my mother involves continued problems with her behavior and blood pressure and medication.
She has two guardians now, and they have disagreed on whether to discontinue the blood pressure meds she supposedly started in the fall. I'm unclear as to when she actually started them. The professional guardian feels they should be discontinued because she has an idea that Mom wants no medical care and she tells us "your mother never wanted medical care and fought going to the doctor," which is inaccurate, since I knew my mother and talked with her about her doctor visits pre dementia. But she has had dementia for a very long time now. My brother has wanted to keep her on bp meds to avoid her having a stroke that leaves her worse off.
Would you consider bp medication as palliative care? That is the model they are going with, supposedly.
This is very unpleasant and dragging on. Not at all happy with people who will not follow doctor orders. If you don't like the plan of care, find a doctor you agree with, but have a plan and have medical care in place. Don't just stick her in a room to die.
Or if you want to do that, for the love of God, get her on hospice. They won't do that either.
