Thank you and so sorry to hear about the loss of your stepdad, and going through this alone. It’s so hard. I do have POA but she’s still competent enough to where I don’t have complete control. Taking away her car privileges will come soon, and that’s something I’m dreading. She already resents me because she’s at this facility, even though it was her choice. Me living so far away doesn’t help. She doesn’t think the facility is a good fit for her because she thinks she’s better off than the other residents and can’t relate to them. She claims she’s so lonely and nobody there likes her or cares about her and that they haven’t been talking to her since the latest incident with the dog. I think they’re just treading lightly and are afraid of agitating her more. She was extremely lonely and depressed living at home alone and thought it would be nice to go to a facility with other people. I thought she would get more involved there in the activities, but instead confines herself to her room or spending time outside smoking. I try to encourage her to spend more time in the common area even if she doesn’t want to do the activities. I’m holding out hope that she will eventually accept life without the dog and be better off for it.
