Hi,
Mum is in a Care Home. I know I shouldn't be bombarding her with questions when I speak to her on the phone. Today I tried to talk about a future hospital appointment and how I would take her. It was too much information for her and she finished the call and I could hear her say to someone, 'they can go on too much'.
She's only been in the home for 8 weeks and the phone calls are my main contact with her. Any tips on keeping it simple, how to not ask questions (so difficult not to ask a question on the phone), and to keep it light hearted.
I've tried to google for an answer but the answers are geared to face to face contact.
Thanks,
B.
