This year in December my mom was put in a bad facility of a nursing home, which I tonics her after 2 months. Now she is in a very good one. From December till now in June, things have changed she is bed ridden and her focus is somewhere else. She wears pampers and everything happened so fast. She doesn't hold conversation well and doesn't understand anymore. I don't know what to do, I miss her so much.
There are different kinds of dementia and the each progress in different ways. It sound like your mother is in one of the last stages, but how long it will last is very hard to predict. Have you discussed this with the experienced staff of her nursing home? What is their opinion of her "stage"? If Hospice is available to Mom and the nursing home thinks it is time for that, I think it could be a very helpful step for both you and your mother.
Hugs to you. This is so hard!
Even in a "good" nursing home care to be closely monitored.
