She has asked this twice and the look on her face when I tell her she is going to have to stay in her hospital bed which is in our large TV room, and I can't take care of her in her bedroom which is 1/3 rd the size of the TV room and I need room to fit the hoyer lift.
What do you say without hurting her feelings?
What about bringing some things from her bedroom into the tv room? Maybe a chair or even a few photos or other chachkis? You might as well. It may give her peace to look at those things. If she does have dementia, telling her she “has to” do something will automatically illicit a “push-back” response. Trying to reason also usually won’t work.
