Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
I agree - I think you got lucky with the facility where your dad was
Mom's takes all levels and I suspect some would be turned away elsewhere
The man directly across the hall is only 67 and hits his fists and on mom's birthday when I was getting her dressed for dinner he entered her room and shut the door - he was fairly new to the facility and frankly I was scared - I gently got him back out in the hall only to see his wife and private aide standing there - I gave them both the stink eye and reported it to the nurse
Since the facility has nearly doubled in size in the past year they don't seem to have any separation by stage of the disease and all are allowed to roam where they want as its their residence
Mom always locks the door but at some point she won't be able to plus the lock is a bit sticky
Just as concerning to me is that staff doesn't always know or intervene when residents get violent with each other - I have even been hit and chased a couple of times and I at least have a chance to protect myself but not my 93 year old mom
Go Cubs!!
That doesn't sound safe to live that way. It is good you have the presence of mind to provide Mom private caregivers.
What do you think aout a residential care facility near your home? An RCCFE, think they are called a six-pack often, because they take six people.
Son went with him on ahead.
He said he couldn't walk anymore,though had good time.
Tricker treated a few. I gave him my candy (handful) and he picked out a bag of Now and
Laters. A little taffy to suck on.
He was ready to go laydown at the nsg.hm. ok. for once he was worn out Not Me.
Meet several people that have the same questions assuming as with stroke etc. that also are in unit. Representation as place where improve memory lost disorder. I don't see this. I saw recreation bring in stuff and halloween table cloth. they ones I know used to help clear tables kelt trying to rool plastic halloween table cover up it was to color on. Never got that far. After a few days the decorations were put up.
They like the snacks better.maybe just the dry erase markers with taped down designs.
He cann't hardly use his hands been so broke up one side then other thought he would get rehab. They keep saying will check out but Therapy says he doesn't have orders. He came with orders to evaluate and go from good from hospital to good in first nsg. hm to fair in memory nsg facility. That doesnt make sense. He's there because of encelopathy and hepatic encelopathy from Thiamin def. you'd think if they want rid of him so bad they would give him the Thiamine Vital high protien ordered. Instead of me having to tote it in.
Have to color my hair for the winter-guess I will stay a blonde, but want some silvery highlights. Was looking at wigs....
Loved Raul Julia in the Adams family movie
