My mum is currently in hospital being assessed for dementia she was previously in a nursing home but they could not cope because of her behaviour problems and they were not dementia registered.
The problem was that she had to stay in the home because there were no beds in the hospital. My mums problems range from paranioa and obssessions with the toilet she would sit on the toilet all day if she could, not necesserily doing anything, if she couldnt stay on the toilet she would be shouting for the nurse at the home all day and night not getting any sleep has anybody else had this problem with their relatives, it was very distressing for her and for us when we visited. She also told me that I wasn't her daughter I sounded like her but I wasn't her and everybody was abusing her nobody likes her It was very upsetting . Went to see mum at the hospital on sunday and I could actually have a short conversation with her she is on medication which the doctors are trying to get right so she can move to an emi home.It is very difficult to find a decent one and my mums SW appears to be putting me under pressure to find one even though she could be in hospital for another 3 weeks.
Mum is very frail about 5 stone not able to walk and now she won't eat vegetables, fruit, chocolate because she thinks people are putting things in her food. this has all happened in about 4 month gradually with the paranoia getting out of hand.
I know I have gone on a bit but this is my first time on the forum can anyone tell me from their own experience if things will get a little easier for mum when she goes to the emi nursing home I just want her to comfortable and for me not to be in tears all the time.
