Hi
Just been to a lovely Easter party put on by staff at mums care home
Residents and staff dancing to a chap singing,lots of decorations and generally a lovely atmosphere
Mum however was very miserable and refused to take part in anything!
Shes been in the home 8 weeks and although initially was quite happy and is fine and glad to see me for about 15 mins, the tirade starts on a loop! “ why can’t I come home with you” “ I dont want to stay here” “ I don’t see anyone or go anywhere “ even though I take her out regularly
Then she gets nasty and says I don’t care about her, I don’t want her and then when I eventually leave tells me to “****** off”or “Get out”
Needless to say myself and my daughter left the party early as she was getting more aggressive saying she was surprised that even my daughter didn’t care about her
I really don’t know whether to leave a bigger gap between visits as I’m now dreading each time I go
My brother and myself usually take turns visiting every third day or so
All very distressing for mum and us as I don’t know which way to turn at the moment
Any advice would be most welcome
