[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. Keep showing up even if it's just to spend ten minutes there making sure the staff knows you care enough to show up.[/quote]

Staff will treat her better if they know there is family oversight[/quote]
+1 Call and ask how she’s doing on days you can’t visit. Make sure the staff knows you.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s heart wrenching. I had a relative who became more childlike as her memory got worse. If that happens, you can sort of distract her by bringing her something interesting when you visit; a favorite dessert, a book (photo books if her eyesight makes reading difficult), photos of relatives, flowers, fidget toys, hobby items if she crochets or something like that. One woman in my relative’s memory care unit had a babydoll she always held. Another was allowed to have her cat stay in her room (her family cleaned the litter box and fed the cat, not the staff).

I hope your next visit goes more smoothly.[/quote]
