My mother is currently in a nursing home, under palliative care. her nurses feel she is close to passing. i am not so sure. I am considering moving her to a facility closer to where i live, so that I can spend more time with her. i'm also aware that her current facility has severe management problems & a high client/nurse ration that i'm not happy with, although my visits tell me she is not being neglected. i'm concerned that a frail person with dementia might suffer from a change in environment. i do not want to cause her any discomfort. also, i'm not sure how important it is for her to see me. the change would be for me as much as for her. i want to spend more time with her. thoughts?
There are two residents in a memory care facility that I frequent and I would have thought they would not have survived a day, but they have survived over 6 months. I realize all cases are different. What does her doctor say about her remaining time?
I moved my loved one from one facility to another when she had severe dementia. She did fine and there was no setback at all, however, she was not physically ill or near death as your loved one is. That is a big factor to consider.
