Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Could it be that it's because she knows that she now needs diapers(Depends) instead of her underwear? Your profile says that she's incontinent, and often folks deal with their loved one not wanting to stop wearing their underwear when they really need Depends, so this may be a blessing in disguise as you can now just throw all of her underwear away and replace it with her Depends. And you don't give her a choice on whether she's going to wear them or not, you just tell her that she must wear her new "underwear" as you can't have her pee and poop everywhere she sits or as she walks around. And if getting her to listen to you is just too much now, it may be time to be looking into placing her in a nice memory care facility where they will make darn sure she has her Depends on. Best wishes.
Supply disposable briefs and incentivize her to wear them. If she doesn't/won' keep them on you may have to consider anti-strip clothing for ALZ/dementia patients.
From your profile: I am caring for my mother Diane, who is 85 years old with age-related decline, alzheimer's / dementia, depression, incontinence, and mobility problems.
There is no rhyme or reason to why elders with dementia make the decisions they do. However, they must comply with sanitary living conditions in your home or else move into Memory Care Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing care.
Explain to her how she must wear Depends or the underwear you put in her drawer to stay dry. You'll likely need to explain this to her repeatedly. If she still pulls off the incontinence briefs, then you can dress her in an anti strip suit here:

You put her in a Depends, then the jumpsuit, and change her brief as needed.
Start looking into managed care for when it all becomes too much to manage.
I want to be free! lol. I know that as a child, i didn't want to wear underwear. I think it might be a retrograde thing. there are dementia outfits that are made to keep the person dressed. My mom never got nudist on me but her mom (grandma) would strip in the lobby of her care home. :)
Underwear. Such a simple & dignified garment. Or a troublesome, uncomfortable hindrance?
- Feeling rashy..? - Underwear getting in the way when urgency is an issue? (Just flip up the skirt & go) - Bending pain or stiffness? Or hand stiffnes? Arthritis? - Wet. Inability or embarresment to find & put on clean underwear.
Some ladies take to MuMuus to make dressing easier (maybe commando style too). An Asian friend said her parents swapped to 'leisure wear' at 60. All matching velour suits with easy zip up tops & elastic waist pants. I'm not judging.. but she was 🤣
