ANY ADVICE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED REGARDING THE FOLLOWING: My mum’s Alzheimer’s has deteriorated and I’ve recently had to put her in a dementia specialist care home (she is self funding). She hasn’t been in long but has exhibited aggressive behaviour towards carers and residents - something she did when she had a spell in hospital and also when in respite care.
The care home have recommended she be placed on a dose of temazepam to see if this helps - I am more than happy with this and hope it works.
However, the care home has made it clear that if there’s no improvement, she’s out. Knowing my mum she isn’t going to settle well anywhere so what do I do if they no longer want her? I do hope I’m not doomed to forever keep shuttling her around between different care homes. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced a similar dilemma or if there are care homes that will take a person with aggressive behaviour?
