My husband called me from next door so I went home and the next morning she called over to my house and told my husband that I beat her up and punched her in the back and shoved into the wall and that there was two other people and asked me to come over and when I got there she was all dressed up to go out. I asked her where she was going and she said that she was going dancing. I told her that they are not open until the next evening but that she looked very pretty. She got mad at me and told me that I was a liar and to shut up so I left and went back home? The next morning he called her to tell her that she had a doctors appointment and she proceeded to tell him that her and I had a fight and that I started punching her and shoved her into a wall and that there was two other people there but they wouldn't help her. I Would never hit anyone especially and elderly person with health issues but she scares that I did. About ten minutes later she asked me if I was going to take her to the doctors which I did and she acted fine but now I am afraid that she will tell other people bad things about me and I am not going to go to jail for helping someone out. Any suggestions because a part of me never wants to help her again because of this. I just installed three smoke detectors in her home also but she paid for them. Lol. I am learning.
Is there a way you can ALERT the Neurologist of what she is experiencing? It's important that is informed. With this information, perhaps, he can contact authorities and they can get her some help. Are you the POA? Who is in charge of her long term care arrangements?
I'd also be concerned that she could make an unfounded allegation. I'd beware of that and always have a witness with you when around her. I hope you can get her some help. I don't know of anyway to understand a delusion. It can come from anywhere out of nowhere. Hopefully, she can get diagnosed and treated.
She may have a urinary tract infection; do you go to doctor appointments with her? Can you ask her doctor to order a test?
I think it may be time for you to call the local Area Agency on Aging and ask them to come and do needs assessment for her.
