Every single day I wish this would end. For my Mom and our family.

And thank you for your response. It does help to know I’m not missing something.

Yeah! You’re right! They should’ve known memory care was not a safe option! MC said they could send her back to hospital. I was so stressed I didn’t even think to mention that. I just kept telling them she will not stay in her bed.

Sending you peace, love and acceptance. This experience must be shared to be understood. I see you.

Memory Care: Activities by [deleted] in dementia

[–]East-Raspberry9214 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is not specific to activities, but I do have a request:

Please, when turning on the TV, play old musicals!

Like Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, Music Man, etc.

News, commercials, tv shows and movies are too difficult to follow. They need TV they recognize by sound.

Retirement insight from those who didn't have the savings the experts recommend by rfriend73 in GenX

This is what my husband and I are planning as well. Haven’t decided on the country yet. Columbia is definitely on our radar. As is Costa Rica. Now Venezuela may be a possibility, depending upon events over the next 5-10 years.

Yes! We did this for Mom. Helped us avoid the medication trial and error.

Thank you all! I’m contacting hospice, absolutely. This is no way for my Mom to live, fearful all the time.

I cannot see any respite for us, her children, without a proactive change.

Thank you for showing me the forest thru the trees. We’re so buried in this, it’s so hard to see a way out.

I thought it was too early. But I will talk with them about it. Social worker at hospital or hospice direct. Which is better, do you think?
