It's not really a problem I think she might be trying to fit in? She's been going to a few activities in the dining room. Used to she would wear colorful tops and solid bottoms.She likes red. Today she asked me to bring her some white blouses.She has a few. I just emptied out her huge house and im trying to find room in my closets for. All of her clothes!! It's just funny.Im blessed that things are good right now.She is sleeping better and the food there is good.I'm one exhausted daughter, though.

I'm thinking mom is wanting to fit in with how the women at the SNF are dressing. My mother was very much like that herself when she lived in AL and even Memory Care.

Save some of moms clothing in those big plastic bags you can suck the air out of and store under the bed. Donate the rest, that's my suggestion.

Thank goodness things are going well! I'm sure you're exhausted from all you've been doing and from the relief of having mom placed. Take lots of down time for yourself now and enjoy the peace and quiet! 😁

Not sure what if anything is your concern here but count your blessings that your mom has adjusted so well to her new home.
And if it were me I certainly wouldn't keep all of her clothes to take up space in your closets. Just keep a certain amount of pants, shirts/tops, shoes and underclothing to get her through a few weeks. Then donate the rest to the charity of your choice.
I also have to ask...why are now so exhausted when your mom is receiving the 24/7 care she now requires in a nursing facility? Just because she's close to you doesn't mean that you have to visit every day you know. You can limit your visits to just a couple days a week, as her facility will contact you if an issue arises.

And on a side note, I'm not sure how practical white blouses or tops of any kind are very smart to have someone living in a nursing facility to wear as the odds of them dropping foods and drinks on them is 100%. Are you prepared to get the many stains out of them just to make your mom happy?
