[quote=Anonymous]My mom likely has dementia and moved to assisted living 2 months ago. She was doing very poorly and was pretty out of it when she moved but is now doing significantly better in AL, with eating, meds, seeing people, better sleep schedule. But, now she's saying she wants to go home because everything is fine and she can take care of herself. Half the time she talks about how much she loves the place, so I don't think it's anything specific to the place. I'm not sure what to say to her. Sometimes I ignore/make passive comments (but she becomes more determined to move). Sometime I tell her she moved because she has significant memory issues. We have a huge discussion about it, she goes back to loving being at AL...but then she forgets and goes back to wanting to move. I'm sure there's a better way for me to handle, if you could give me talking points.[/quote]
