My MIL is now back with us. She has dementia, anxiety, depression, and paranoia! Last time she was with us, she got kicked out of the home we had her in. She’s been kicked out of several facilities. My wife just took her to check out an adult day care center, and she was kicked out of there. They didn’t want her! We are not equipped to handle her either. Any advice appreciated!
Thanks!
Can you explain why she is being kicked out?
We worked with a VERY GOOD psychiatric practice, and with time and a very fine residence staff, my LO, who was a tiny wildcat when triggered, came to enjoy her surroundings and became much more manageable and content.
There IS a solution for her, and it IS worth it to you AND HER to FIND it!
Other than this, I don't really know how to advise you, as you have taken her into your home. Moreover, if you have accepted a POA or guardianship over her you would have a fiduciary responsibility you could likely only withdraw from with legal help if she is now incompetent.
I sure wish you luck but it is time to see a Licensed Social worker in private practice or an Elder Law Attorney to explore your options and responsibilities. I am so sorry for all the woe.
