So my mom has dementia and seems to be really depressed. She is on meds for her memory but they don’t seem to be doing much. Last week we finally got her into a Memory Care facility. That’s great because she falls a lot and I was not able to watched her 24/7. Every now and then I would get a call from my mom upset about her mind, upset she is not getting better, and saying she wished she were dead. My question is, is this normal? She was officially diagnosed in November but it’s been coming for years. I just don’t know what to do or how to handle this. Any advice would help.
