Mums in a care home, it's a lovely place and the staff do a good job for the most part. But increasingly she is trying to take charge of the other residents - the other day she told them they shouldn't take their meds 'just because the staff told them to'...
But it's more than that, much more, it's got to a point where a lot of the residents don't enjoy sitting down for their tea together because mum is (I hate to say) ruling the roost..argumentative..if they don't agree with her viewpoint. She'll just keep on and on and on. She even had her best friend (resident) in tears the other day. The staff say she is the same with them. Once she's got the bit between her teeth she won't let anything go.
she was the same with me last time I saw her.
The home are saying that unless something can be sorted they won't be able to have her, which I can appreciate. There's to be a meeting in 2 weeks time with a CPN.
Has anyone any thoughts or suggestions as to a way forward here?
