My Mum and Stepfather have moved into a very nice Nursing Home. My mother has Alzheimer's / Dementia - she's 97. She was the one who wanted to move (for months she was asking me to move them but my stepfather refused so they had carers at home). When my stepfather got ill with pneumonia and had to spend time in hospital he agreed to move. So move they did.
After wanting to move, my mother says she hates it there and wants now to go home (which she really can't as she can't cope). She's been very aggressive and hostile to her husband and refuses to get dressed (she was like that for a long time before they moved). If she had her way she'd stay in bed all day.
But she's always been OK with me (I live abroad and my husband's sick so I can't be there at the moment). Today, for the first time ever, she refused to talk to me and my stepfather says she's in a kind of trance. Can anyone explain this? I feel so hurt she won't speak to me.
