[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think I'll stop second-guessing the move, unless mom becomes happy with memory care. Right now she goes between being enraged at being in memory care and doing (I hope) relatively ok.

Are there any stories about parents adjusting to MC? Or getting over the guilt?

Think mom definitely needs...but with her being so angry, I wonder if it's the best choice or too early to make this move.

Mom's short term memory is horrid, she had trouble at home taking meds and eating, and essentially got kicked out of assisted living (they wanted to move her to memory care).[/quote]

Mine was enraged at home. That was how she aged. She raged at all sorts of people and was often noncompliant with meds. For my inlaw the good thing about Memory care is it's easier to have medication compliance. Once the rage is managed and they can relax, it gets better. FIL was the star of the sing-a-longs and was busy with activities when we visited. he appreciated these strangers coming to see him, but he also still thought he was working so between activities and needing to get to the office he only had so much time for us. it was cute.[/quote]
