[quote=Anonymous]OP, we just had some family members move into assisted living and the facility said to expect a 30-60 day adjustment period before they'd get over being sad about leaving their home. Actually liking the facility will take longer. My dad had a similar problem when he moved his mom into AL. She called constantly and was really rude. He answered the first few times per night (she never called him at work) and said "mom, I'd love to talk if you can be kind." And he'd try to have a conversation. He'd hang up if she kept lighting into him and only took 3 calls per night. They also had her evaluated by a psychiatrist and put her on Prozac (there were other issues besides the phone calls). It took a month or two, but she finally stopped calling and screaming at him. Good luck. This isn't easy. [/quote]
