Quick update from
@Margi29 .. she’s asked me to ask you a question. I’ll probably / possibly do a separate thread, but she wants me to ask you
So, @Margi29’s mum went into a home after Christmas. She’s been there just under 2 weeks
The home assessed & saud they could handle her
The family were very honest about behaviour, up a lot at night, wandering, confusion.
1. She’s taken an intense dislike to a long time resident, let’s call her M.
M is much further along, jumbles her words around & constantly moaning. She also pushes herself into other people’s “personal space”, so she will stand less than 12 inches away, with her face in yours.
There have been a few verbal comments between the pair.
There has been a physical instance,
@Margi29 mum put up a fist & asked “what are you looking at
silly *****” (replace with your worst)
The home has said they have to keep M safe, which is understandably, but they’ve given
@Margi29 2 weeks to sort this out
Any suggestions on how to diffuse this?
@Margi29 & siblings have come to the hard decision that 5hey can no longer keep their mum safe. They’ve been honest. The home said they could cope but are now saying this needs to be sorted
I’ve suggested she call the helpline & ask ASC for input
