she is 87, fractured her hip 2 months ago, been combative at nursing home so they kept her sedated. When she started to awaken she got angry & combative again. So the cycle began of drugs to subdue her then force her to eat. Can I stop this & just bring her home to either die or recuperate?
Do keep in mind that Mom may continue to be combative at home. She may refuse to eat.
I see from your profile that Mom has dementia as well as a broken hip. Is she in the final stages of dementia? If so, consider having a hospice evaluation.
Is Mom on Medicaid? If so have her case manager schedule a needs assessment as soon as you bring her home, to determine what services and products Medicaid will cover at home.
This is a very painful situation for you, I'm sure. If bringing her home is what you want to do, I sincerely hope it works out for you both.
