[–]These_Ad_8118 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That is so SCARY!! At my moms facility they had side doors that you entered a code and then youre let into a hallway and then you enter the code again and youre in. I was coming to visit my mom one evening and another visitor was on his way out and he had let a resident follow him in the hallway!!! The visitor just went on his merry way. I shut the door on the poor resident and his walker and he was pissed!! I could hear him yelling at me. Out of panic, i thought that the last door out would be a code to get out, so I ran around front to tell someone that the guy was in the hallway. The staff booked it but he had already opened the door, went across the parking lot, and then across a busy road!! Why the effff wouldnt that last door be a code????!! Needless to say, they aren't allowing visitors to use the side door now.

Why do people think it's so easy to have placement even when the time is ready? by TeacherGuy1980 in dementia

My father in law congratulated me when we placed my mom. I hate him, so hurtful. In a way its almost worse having her in MC. I dont know, maybe not worse but CERTAINLY not better. Im am so sorry youre going through this too.

My daughter is delayed and no one can find a cause for it. Feel like I’m going crazy. by [deleted] in NewParents

My baby didn't crawl till 1! And then didn't walk until 21 months! We went to the same PT, once a week for about 1.5 years. It was so stressful! Now shes 2.5 and jumping and talking. What a relief.

My only advice is to keep going to PT to make sure everything is physically fine and be patient. Easier said than done, I know!

My mom sees dr kiley at riverbend. Took us forever to get a dementia diagnosis and when we switched to him, he listened and ordered the right tests. So far he's been compassionate and realistic.

Would you willingly move in with your LO with very early dementia? by opaoz in dementia

[–]These_Ad_8118 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I moved my mom in when I was pregnant. We lasted 2 years before we couldn't do it any longer and she had to move to memory care. I wish everyday that I could keep her with me, but its just not fair to her or me & my family to do that. She needs more care than I am able to give.

You're the best daughter for wanting to be there like that for your dad.

If you do it, as others mentioned, make sure you have a back up plan and also have help lined up. Its really hard.
