long term customer going mad!

[edscdk]

or so i think.. I've been visiting him every 4 to 12 months for nearly 20 years.

he is a customer I'd not call him for a chat aka a friend..but I've obviously known him for a long time.. in the past 12 months he has changed and I've been visiting older people enough to know (suspect) he has something seriously wrong..

would you assume he/his wife has noticed? would you say anything..? would you tell him or his wife?

How much do you charge for your "services" hun?

I could do with a bit of company, if you know what I mean.

I love these totally non cryptic threads with all the details to give honest, balanced advice. Yes probably mention something but only if appropriate.

customer has dementia would you tell him / his wife? would you want me to tell you / your wife?

 

[koolpc]

Maybe its the prices you charge!

Its pushed him over the edge?

 

[Efour]

Obviously say to his wife

Is Bob ok? He seems a bit different lately...
She'll say no he's taking a lot of acid these days or tell you to pee off / none of you beeswax.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Just ask him if he’s built differently.

Are you qualified to diagnose dementia? Or, are you saying a clinical diagnosis is already in place?

In 10 years time it will become known that OP defrauded his senile customer to an absurd degree and is on his way to prison

i would mention it to the wife, she might not have noticed it as she may have just "got used" to it slowly
as always a fresh pair of eyes always helps, or so the saying goes
if anything then at least it might spur them to go to their GP to get a memory clinic appointment (if you can get on the waiting lists in the NHS these days)

 

[Rroff]

Not knowing details but it isn't uncommon for people as they get older to change without it being dementia - shorter tempered, forgetful of things like names and even words they might frequently use, adopting sometimes quite strongly new beliefs or ideologies, etc. if it is really dementia talking to them about it may not be helpful as often people with dementia have limited awareness of what is happening to them or can't recognise it is happening to them.

If it really is concerning then as Efour said tactfully bring it up with close family, etc.

 

[Mysterae_]

Ask him if he has the £1k you lent him last month.

 

[Mr Badger]

Before we come up with a detailed plan, please confirm whether your customer is either coming to the end of his time as US President, or about to start his second term?

 

[ivrytwr3]

When was the last time you updated him? Have you tried a fresh install? Also, pics of wife.

 

[BUDFORCE]

Also, pics of wife.

This!!!

How has this thread gone for so long without anyone requesting this vital bit of information.

I’d second this. It’s probably all in hand but the fact you’re posting about it here probably means you’re concerned so why not do this and put your mind at rest.

Could be a million reasons why his mood was different. Lost some money on the GG's, wife's decided she's too old for love making, old pecker isn't working as it should for him..

As someone said above, a breezy "Is Bob alright, he seems not himself?" to the wife might give a simple explanation, or prompt a deeper conversation.

There's his problem!
