My Mother has vascular dementia and has been in a care home since being transferred from hospital nearly 12 months ago , just lately she seems more agitated is aware she is in a care home and keeps asking why she can’t come home ( when she was at home she did not recognise it as her home of 60 years ) was constantly trying to leave some times in the middle of the night saying she needed to go home she would become very hostile and violent towards my Dad who is 87 several times he would call me to go round as he did not know what to do , the rest is a long story
My Mother is now saying she wants to end her life ! On visits she is crying hysterically it’s all becoming very stressful and upsetting for us all especially my Dad , we have found out today the home is closed for 2 weeks due to staff with covid , after re opening for only a week home was closed for 2 weeks prior to Christmas due to d&v outbreak, this further closure is going to have a massive impact on moms mental health Dad as an essential visitor is allowed in however I don’t know how he will cope on his own , can someone please advise how we can help our poor tormented Mom thank you
