I had no choice but to place mom in the memory care unit of an assisted living. She was delusional, had fits of anger and would walk out of the house. The last time she walked out of my aunt's house. The police found her and had to be taken to his Hospital for heat stroke. She remembers she worked her whole life and has her own home but she thinks it’s where she was born, not where it actually is. I call her but she just gets upset and accuses me of putting her there and not caring for her. The staff recommended I call less and give her time to settle in. What can I do?
She'll be mad for as long as she'll be mad. But you did the right thing. My mom is mad at me so much I can't even keep track if she's on the outs with me or not.
Enjoy your break!!
Praying things will get easier for you and your mom.
