[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think you should work with her to learn Alexa or Google Home. They can send texts and A text will be less interruptive than a call. And she can use it to set reminders, add things to a shopping list, and more. You don’t want to block your mom. That’s a blow torch solution for a scissor problem. [/quote]

Spoken like someone who hasn’t had a parent with ALZ or dementia. There is NO learning new things. It’s the slow withering of already acquired skills and trying to implement anything new that they themselves are responsible for will fail. 
The OP’s mom needs to be in memory care. [/quote]

NP - She may not need memory care yet but she definitely needs AL. Your mom is not safe in independent living and yes, you have to continue taking her calls until you get her into a safe living environment. She’s calling incessantly bc she needs help functioning in daily life - help your local sibling might’ve been providing before she checked out. It’s time to move her to higher care, especially w the only local sibling moving 800 miles away. I also agree w unplugging oven, microwave, toaster etc. trust me on this, my parent almost burned down the AL w one of those appliances. [/quote]
