Grandma has moderate to severe cognitive impairment, which manifests as restlessness and a very short attention span. She elopes from her home and wanders outside with no coat and no walker. This has resulted in bad falls. Some days she needs help changing her Depends and wiping, and other days she bathrooms independently. She is not able to get herself beverages or food. She needs the meal in her fridge heated up for her regularly, coffee made for her, and juice or tea or Boost brought to her. She will eat anything you give her but she will forget to eat entirely if not prompted. Medically, she is uncomplicated. She gets one pill with breakfast for her thyroid and two pills later in the day.
