Hi May,

My mum has Alzheimer’s dementia she was put on Rispiridone one year prior to going into aged care. That year she started to show aggression because she was frustrated for not being able to remember.

What is frustrating is mum now refuses medication from the aged care staff but she will take it for me. I can’t be there 24 hours a day and they can’t force her to take it.

Thanks
