[quote=Anonymous]Don't seek out sending something specific to the caretaker whose hair she pulled. The facility likely has strict policies against individuals receiving gifts. Or at least find out first. Don't put someone in an uncomfortable situation. I know it's horrifying for you, but for anyone who has worked with people with memory care issues, these behaviors are common. Don't be embarrassed. I've been hit, scratched, spit on, bit and more by those with memory issues. It's not ok but we all understand why it happens. Now for the part that sounds harsh and somewhat cruel. You need to prioritize yourself. Your mom's life is what it is. She's not going to get better. You have your family and your life that you need to be happy and healthy for. If being this involved in your mom's care is taking this much of a toll on you, it's ok to back off. [/quote]
