Mom returned from short hospital stay and a 2 week rehab stay to her home last week, against advice to move her directly to assisted memory care. Dementia is bad, but wanted to see how things went. After home visit today I am told it's time to move her. It's no longer safe, she crawls (won't walk) and doesnt take meds. I am her daughter and only out for her money and home... Anyone experience this. How did you handle?
You've written other posts where we left you comments explaining how we went about getting our mom's into Memory Care AL. Find a Memory Care AL for her, get her room set up like her bedroom is at home (BEFORE you bring her over), and then either drive her there yourself or hire a medical transport van to drive her to the facility where you're waiting to help her get set up. Are you in town to do this yourself?
I'm not sure exactly what your question is, and what you'd like advice with? Here is a link to 50 Tips on Transitioning a Loved One Into Memory Care AL:

If your mom is crawling, won't walk or take her meds, etc., it's past time she's placed in MC so she can be cared for 24/7, as my mom was. Who's going to sell her home and get all that underway, if she needs the money to finance her stay in Memory Care? Who has POA for her? That person is the one to arrange for her placement which would have been easier had it been done directly from rehab, unfortunately.
Wishing you the best of luck getting mom set up in Memory Care asap.
I hope that her funds are paying for all of it and that you aren't contributing funds you will need for your own retirement.
