Three years ago, as soon as my grandmother with dementia (92) was hospitalized, her need for care 2 deteriorated to 5. When she was forced to be hospitalized undesirably, symptoms such as abuse, violence, depression, hallucinations, delusions and delirium grew stronger. However, the 39-year-old granddaughter cares for her grandmother, a savior who was separated from her parents and raised at the age of one and a half. Then I gradually regained a calm humanity — (Part 2/2 times in total).

Hopelessness … 92-year-old grandmother’s dementia worsens, fires part-time worker for downsizing
(Continuation of the first part)
Three years ago, my 92-year-old grandmother began to develop symptoms of dementia. I was once hospitalized on the strong recommendation of my aunt, but after the hospitalization my grandmother’s condition just got worse. The delirium worsened, and his cognitive ability dropped dramatically as he continued to worsen, making loud noises, ranting, and committing violent acts.
The caregiver is Sakura Amemiya (Kansai resident, single), 37 years old at the time, who is her granddaughter. At the age of one and a half, her father eloped and the family separated. My grandmother, who became a foster parent, is a benefactress.
While her grandmother was in the hospital, Amemiya was fired from the company where she worked as a part-time worker. It was a reduction in staff due to the reduction in business. Still, she looked for work while her grandmother was in the hospital and decided where to work, but because her grandmother’s condition worsened, she left the job in less than two months.
“My grandmother went crazy before she was hospitalized, but her symptoms seem to have worsened due to the big changes in the hospitalization environment and the anxiety that she might not be able to go home anymore. I turned into a strong drug and became like a different person I suspect that the prescribed medication does not match and that the medical diagnosis of Pick’s disease (dementia) was correct.
I want to reward my grandmother’s “38 years of gratitude” for taking over and raising herself for a year and a half.
Mr. Amemiya was originally unwilling to be hospitalized, and distrusted hospitals and doctors, and continued to talk to his doctor about “I want to discharge my grandmother” and “I want to take care of myself at home.”
My doctor repeatedly objected that “home care is not possible” and that “there are only two options: transfer to a psychiatric hospital or continue with hospitalization.” I’m only alive, but … “
Still, Amemiya said, “I will definitely take you home no matter what the situation is. I will not change my resolve.” I want to take care of my grandmother who has raised me with my grandfather since I was walking or not. I ate with that heart.
Soon they will decide to leave the hospital, perhaps because of that enthusiasm. However, in the pre-discharge certification survey, the grandmother needed long-term care 5 (the heaviest stage of certification for long-term care). Before being hospitalized, he needed long-term care 2, but in just three months it suddenly rose to five. Mr. Amemiya requested the installation of nursing care equipment in the entrance and hallway in anticipation of the life of nursing care at home after discharge, but the staff of the nursing care equipment company were also surprised by the rapid development.
“I didn’t want to be in the center or hospitalized from the beginning, so it was only natural for them to take me home. I had no other choice. I was delighted when my grandmother was discharged. I had vague expectations and hopes for him.”
However, those expectations and hopes were easily shattered.
