My mother moved into a care home on Monday,which has been the single biggest upheaval for myself having to resign her to strangers for the rest of her days.
The first 2 days were very hard,but each morning,she displayed signs of happiness that I havent seen from her in ages. But today, after a accident with her bowels,she got very aggressive with the staff,residents and myself. I hated having to leave her while she was mad,but it seemed to just get worse the longer I stayed.
I am just wondering if there is any techniques that can be used to calm someone with dementia when they are unapproachable?
Thanks guys.
