I recently posted how shocked I was when I saw Mum (~2 weeks into her move to a Care Home) - malnourished and delirious. I was reassured by the feedback that it's not unusual due to the massive upheaval and change.
Today we received a call from the home saying mum has become uncontrollable. Banging her head on doors and windows and hitting carers and other residents.
The other residents on her wing are refusing to come out of their rooms..
The home couldn't get external help until tomorrow when (I think) a 'mental nurse??' is going to visit.
I strongly suspect mum maybe admitted to hospital and naturally worrying what the hell they are going to do except to heavily medicate her.
I'm not really sure where this is going but needed to unload onto the forum.
