[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, BTDT. You need to transition her to a higher level of care. Fwiw once she's in a skilled nursing or memory care facility, they tend to manage nighttime waking via meds. So it's not necessarily a better outcome from a quality of life point of view, but it's probably better than dying from a fall. [/quote] It's a double edged sword. If you are taking them away from their friends, social activities, entertainment and familiar routine in AL and placing them in a Memory Care unit or nursing home that is more about their physical care and keeping them safe....a severe transition like that could cause a decline as rapidly as a bad fall could.[/quote]
