[quote=Anonymous]Hello,,

I am full guardian and conservator of my mother, who currently lives in Arizona.  She has mid stage Alzheimer's and has become repeatedly verbally, and now, as of yesterday, physically abusive of staff. i hvae moved her twice in the past 18 months and current place is angling to get her discharged/moved elsewhere. She will probably go into a behavioral health center [covered by medical insurance] for a couple of weeks, and then will probably need to find her another new place to live. i don't feel capable of caring for her day to day, but maybe it is time to move her to DC. Cost is a concern and i'd rather find some place that is DC exurbs that might be able to care for her, with the likelihood that she will, at some point, again be verbally and even physically abusive of staff [she can't remember much, but gets triggered and acts out]. So far neurologists have not been willing to up her medication and need recommendation for facilities that might be able to handle this sort of situation. thank you. [/quote]
