This post is just a humorous aside, I've read so many posts about moms who are nasty and mean and vicious and insulting and critical etc., and one of them just landed in my mom's memory care. Things were pretty quiet until she showed up, now this new lady sits around randomly threatening the staff and yelling non-sequiturs like 'will you two stop fighting!' when no one is even talking. So far we can laugh at the situation as she does provide comic relief with her randomness, I just hope she never goes after my nervous, sensitive mom.
I remember overhearing my Mom's room-mate calling out to my Mom "the d*** potatoes are done" just as I was entering the room. Turns out my Mom kept asking at different times, out loud, if the potatoes were ready. And she kept saying that day after day. I felt so sorry for her room-mate having to listen to that.
Apparently either my Mom had stopped saying that on her own, or the doctor had prescribed something that helped.
Hopefully the new resident will settle in.
Granted it may take a while for her to get used to the facility and the staff.
It may take a bit to get medications for anxiety adjusted.
And there are people that make noise, talk, yell as a way to get attention. I am not talking about attention the say way a child throws a tantrum but as an example my Husband was non-verbal the last about 8 years of his life. He moaned, sometimes LOUDLY sometimes a bit more quiet. Whenever I was on the phone he got louder. It was is he wanted to participate in the conversation. If he was watching a Cubs ball game...I had to wear earplugs. Same with the Bears! (Honestly there are day when I really miss that noise and it is more than 5 years since he died...)
Be patient.
Be glad you are not a staff member and have to listen to it all day.
Be glad it is not your mom.
Be glad that there is not more than 1 doing the same thing.
