    I think more and more furniture companies should reach out to you and provide for furniture to help these people, especially elderly people. We should also be pressuring our governments more and demand better social care for the weakest of our society!

      That's actually a great idea. Would be great promotion for them! Auri you should have your manager reach out to some furniture companies! They send mattresses to UA-cam creators all the time in exchange for promo/ review. Could do that with you! Right now Helix has been sending out a lot of mattresses for creator review. Purple and Nectar are two others that have commonly done the same. Also, there are companies like Brooke Linen that send sheet / bedding sets for review.

      The #1 caregiver should always be the government, though. I work and pay taxes so I DEMAND to have my money’s worth of care for everyone, no matter where they are in life. If you work and you pay taxes, you should have access to the services you’re paying/paid for, it’s that easy!

      Ideally, yes, family could help. Sometimes family cannot help. Maybe the family has tried to help . Sometimes elderly wont let someone help, or they are difficult to deal with, so it can be healthier for the family to stay away. Each family ia different. We just dont know whats really going on so we must not judge.

    You cant believe how much these videos have helped me. I've been severely depressed for months after some less than great things happened to me. Because my body felt dirty, I didn't care if my house was dirty. I would only wash my clothing for work and occasionally some dishes to eat with, and that was it. Over the last week, I've gotten my house clean. The last three days I've had the flu, which just made it harder. Now the only things I have left are to fold the laundry once it's dry and to wash the floors. Once the weather becomes rainy, I'll start on the yard too.

      I live with my grandmother who recently fell down and now thankfully she's healing but that's besides the point. My grandmother had fell in the kitchen when I stepped outside just to collect a package. I heard something fall but she didn't make a sound or call me from outside, just because she didn't want to worry me unfortunately she broke a bone so she had to go the hospital. After coming home my grandmother whenever she needed something would always apologize to me saying she's causing me trouble. Then I would have to tell her over and over again that she's not a burden and that it's my duty. Due to family reasons I live with my grandmother, but I wonder if my situation was different I wouldn't be living her and therefore I wonder what the house would've been like if I wasn't there. I guess what I'm trying to say is not all situations are abuse. Depending on the elderly person they tend to be independent and want to do things themselves afraid to be a burden therefore she probably didn't tell them and unfortunately they had to find out about the house when her daughter came to cut her hair. Please do not assume things without knowing the full story.

    I have an aunt who has been slowly going down the dementia road. For those who wonder why the daughter didn't realize what was going on, let me tell you about my aunt... I live about 30 minutes from her, but her 3 sons live quite a distance further (two live, literally, across the country); because of that, I am the one who visits her the most, who has been helping her with her everyday life, etc. While the two who live in other states are good about calling her every week or two, they didn't realize how bad she had become, because often she can speak on the phone very well. When they came into town (to visit her for her 95th birthday) they had a big shock, trying to understand how she had deteriorated "so quickly"! One even accused me of buying her a computer that was too complex for her to use -- instead of understanding that when we bought the computer 3 years ago, she could use it perfectly well. Now she doesn't even remember how to turn it on! This happens a lot with dementia patients -- on the phone they can sound fairly normal, despite the fact that their everyday existence has deteriorated dramatically!
    I don't blame the family for not understanding how dire the situation was with their mother... BUT I hope they understand that she cannot live independently anymore, and that they should step in to move her to a place where she can be cared for and live safely.

      You never know what people are going through. My mother was abusive and even after my older sister came to stay and take care of her she was still verbally abusive and would just go off at the drop of a hat. If you met her you wouldn't know at first because she would probably be super pleasant to you. She refused to go to a doctor after awhile and my sister was afraid she would lose her nursing license and she left. So now I'm staying with her and after a couple years and many trips to the ER for her seizures she finally agreed to go to a doctor and thankfully we got one that was very understanding and not pushy for extra test. I think she was also dealing with recurrent UTIs which can really affect their cognitive abilities and now I have her taking a high dose of d-mannose and drinking plenty of water. Many people are barely making it with the wages and prices of things today and if I had to work on top of bring here for my mom and having my own mental health issues... well I probably wouldn't be able to deal with it and I definately wouldn't be able to afford my medications and insulin while earning minimum wage (7.25 in Texas.)

    Just putting this out there: in situations like this story it’s not as simple and easy as “getting family to help” once people of a certain age are living in their house in this state it’s too much to manage even with assistance. Especially people with dementia/Alzheimer’s or a disability, anyone who tries to help or change their routine in any way is met with resistance. People with dementia can become very agitated and older people in general like to stay in their home they’ve stayed for years. Since she has children and grand children I’m sure they’ve tried helping many times but it’s very easy to underestimate how big and uncontrolled the issue is. Thank goodness for Auri and her skills so she could help this family

      I don't care HOW agitated my mother would have been, there is NO WAY any human being should have been left on their own In that filth and not having showered FOR 3 YEARS! The daughter felt she had to put on rubber gloves just to touch her own mother? - well if she had looked out for her sooner and on a regular basis- arranging a nursing home sooner she wouldn't have been so repelled by her bodily condition. She's lucky - 16:30 her mother had to LIVE in that body for 3 years. I'm SO angry with her whole family for neglecting that poor soul. Good job she didn't treat THEM that way when they were growing up isnt it???!!! She was a good mum to them, and this is how they repay her in her time of need!

She will let me wash it but never seems to notice if it needs washing,I always initiate it. But she does brush it before pulling it back.

Also, social connection with others.

    I can't wait till you come back tomorrow Auri...I can't wait to see more! You are so right you have to remain positive and your energy does spread and fill the whole place like a ray of bright light💕wiping out all those nasties lurking about 🤣. I wish someone could give Granny a fancy ashtray that deodorizes and cleans the air!! because of Granny's age and state of mind, breaking a lifelong habit is almost impossible.
