Poor mum moved into a new care home quite recently and has since developed hyperactive delirium after a UTI. She doesn't stop, night or day she is continually chatting without making any sense and wandering about. She gets snappy with staff and residents, is rude and at times lewd, and now is trying to get out of the front door. Care home have really tried but cant deal with her and asked her to leav. Social services are looking for an alternative. I hate the idea of having to move her again, with all the upset and upheaval for her, not least with isolation with another COVID test.
We are waiting test results to see if she still has an infection but I feel so desperate and helpless. Stunned that she could get so bad so quickly and seems to be making no progress. Yet dull there are glimmers of my old mum there. I just can't reach them.
Not really seeking advice, just alone with my thoughts and sad.
