[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Home” may not be the house in which she lived, but a feeling of familiarity that is lost due to the condition. Keep her active as long as possible. Agree to take her home “later” or “soon” or after the renovation is done.[/quote] This. It's common. Also, therapeutic lies can help like the one mentioned above. If there is a good director or social worker at the AL brainstorm with that person what might help. You could use a variety of therapeutic lies such as "the house is being fumigated and then we have to fix some things. It will be another month." It might be finding the right activities there to join or having a person who works there help connect her with others who might be a good match socially. It might be trying to find more ways she can have control over her environment and choices or assigning her a "job"/task there she might enjoy.[/quote]
