[quote=Anonymous]Advocate for her, meds can alleviate the rage. Visit frequently and pay close attention. We forget that people with dementia are still people, and their environment still impacts them but they are less and less able to communicate their needs. Educate yourself about QOL focused care. I’ll give you an article to get started (scroll to Later Interventions). Placing a loved one in Memory Care is often a difficult and painful decision. You are dealing with the inherent pain of the long goodbye, and your LO may be especially hard on you at thus time. Don’t feel guilt, that is just torturing yourself. You did the right thing and your mom needs you to take care of yourself and her. Taking care of her will look and feel different, but it is still valuable and important.[/quote]
