How can a patient of dementia and narcissistic personality disorder be treated?
human
My 84 year old Mother has demensia and NPD.  She was assessed a week ago as was necessary to get her into Assisted care.  The nurse said she can't be in Assisted Care she needs Memory care. My mom is very difficult and defensive. My husband and I took her car away last month (she became very angry, called us 24 times in 2 hours demanding it back. Her drivers license expired a year and a half ago, and she still drove. Also she has Macular degeneration and can't see well). Now we need to get her into Memory Care. What do I do? My brother won't help. He will not talk to her any more. I'm frantic she lives 3 hours away. I'm in the process of getting her POA papers from her atturney. This feels like a night mire.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, in such situation, you should consult a psychologist for her stubbornness. At age of 84, most of people get dementia and vision problem, but in case she wants to drive her car, that is risky. Better to avoid the things that could harm her. One thing you can do renew her linence, while taking her to psychologist, give her car to drive for few minute, but as a reward if she follow your command. Rest discuss with psychologist.Thanks
