[quote=Anonymous]Are her complaints valid (e.g. the food is inedible, no one helps her when she needs to do X, not just she doesn't want to be there). Tell your brother he needs to pick up some of the slack. How often does he visit? Adjusting takes time. It took my grandmother 2 years. When you go visit her, try to do some of the activities with her. We set up a rotation and someone always visited on a sunday morning to make sure my grandmother went to a church service - it had been one of her primary methods of socializing her entire life. We found out the days there was a bridge club, and so on. It was awful at times, I'd never seen my grandmother so angry and sad. She did adjust however, and the last 10 years of her life were great, and the transition to the nursing home at the same facility went very well.[/quote]
