My mum has just gone into a nursing home, her memory is bad but short term at the moment, I need guidance on how to cope with her when I visit.
She also has really bad anxiety.
Every visit is the same she consistently asks to go home to her own house then I explain she needs to get better ( lung cancer, Copd, lots more too )
She then starts swearing and shouting that get her out of there she hates it there so please take her home and don’t leave her there.
Then in the next breath she’s fine then 2 minutes later we are back to square one.
I cry continually and have cried that much today my eyes are sore and blurred,
My mum hasn’t been diagnosed with dementia but myself and staff think she has some degree.
I know there isn’t a magic wand but hopefully I will get some suggestions
Thanks for reading
