Question: Can someone make strong-willed decisions for a person with dementia? Is this a violation of the patient’s free will? What is better to do if the patient is in self-harming behavior? Where is it better for the person with dementia to live: in a related treatment center or at home?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Easter webinar.
Well, can you really say that a person who has reached a certain stage of dementia is able to exercise free will? Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable that other people who are in a position to do so make the decisions for the patient, especially to stop self-harming behavior or even behavior that could unwittingly lead to harm.
If it is possible, it is in most cases where people have gone beyond a certain limit, better that they live in some kind of specialized treatment center rather than living at home. This is especially true if there are not people close to them who can take care of them on a daily basis at home.
