My cousin has Alzheimer's, he is having trouble getting adjusted to the ALF. Should we visit often, or stay away?

My daddy did not like it either. I always told him as soon as Dr. ( and I always gave the doctor a name he recognized) releases you then you can come home but you are still being looked at. I also asked the facility to give him a job something he looked forward to doing. My daddy has the job of passing out the game stuff for games. Maybe yours can water the plants or straighten the chairs in the dinning area.

You can keep repeating to her a simple statement that you are waiting for the doctor to tell when it is safe for her to go home

They all want to go home, she is adjusting, she is just trying to manipulate everyone,

If she is doing activities and eating she is good. Cut back on answering the phone, if she starts just say "I have to go",

I would not visit often, let her continue to assimilate to her new surroundings.
