Things like that.
Set up a doctors appointment for your grandmother and talk to them about the medications and seeing a specialist, and if they can't help then seek a professional on your own, even if that means taking her to a hospital to get brain scans and neurology work done to really find out what type of brain problems she's having.
OK. When my sisters get home, I'll have them take a look at what my mother read and propose the caretaker idea, mainly for two reasons. One, if someone's going to be staying here, I want their consent before asking and secondly, if I can get them to help propose the idea to my mother all together, it may work better.
I'll report back soon enough.
