She has lost the ability to walk and has become very combative. I have been the only family member who has been involved with her care. NH calls me when ever there is an issue.They now tell me its just a matter of time I feel so depressed mom was a very bright loving caring person and to see her in the state she's in is devastating. All other family members have stopped going to see her. I never thought it would end like this.
Is there a geriatric psychiatrist who visits the facility who could evaluate her for meds that might calm her? It must be torture for her too, to be so agitated. Perhaps if she wasn't combative, other family members would visit.?
Another thing to consider is if Hospice care might be an option .
