[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think everyone who’s had a memory care situation has been through a day like that. It might get better, and it might not. Remember that something genuinely horrible IS happening to her, and it’s understandable why she would freak out even if you’re all doing the best you can. I don’t even think suicidal ideation is so outrageous if you’ve been moved to memory care. Keep showing up and working with the care team on meds, etc. The goal I keep in mind is having the person feel safe and like themselves as much as possible. Your mom sounds like she was pretty aware of the situation and move to memory care that day, which makes “safe” pretty hard. I wouldn’t feel safe either. As that awareness shifts, it might get better![/quote] +1 I'm so sorry, OP, I've been there and it's so horrible. [/quote]
