My Mother has been in a nursing home in Texas since Oct. 2021. She has been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia among a slew of other health issues, and had gotten to the point she could no longer live alone. I cannot care for her in my home. (Long Story for a different day). Any way, she has been on a kick about getting her own apartment again. She backed out of going to Assisted Living which took me 3 months to get approved in July of this year opting to stay in the nursing home. Now she is under the impression nothing is wrong with her. I know we are not supposed to remind them that they forget. But I am truly at a loss as to how to explain or even calm her down? IDEAS please.

Thanks

She can't actually leave, right? So is this more to calm her or yourself from her unrelenting pressure?
Are there activities & social groups where she currently lives?
