[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would therapeutic lying work? Meaning, you tell she is moving home as soon as it’s painted (or whatever) and she never realizes that day will never come? It can help her calm down and feel more content. [/quote] +1. OP, is there a social worker or support group associated with the program, or one you can find? As others have said, this has nothing to do with your mom wanting to go home...she's just uncomfortable due to her decline. I think the general advice is to just say what you need to say to distract her and de-escalate the moment. But perhaps others can guide you more specifically, and give you some support.[/quote]
