Calling the office for every little thing. They are not there immediatly she's calling and cussing them out. I'm sure she has dementia but will not cooperate with the dr recomendations. how can I get her into assisted living when she can't afford it? she's very mean and hateful so none of the rest of our family or friends will even associate with her. I'm her daughter but she treats me like a dog. if I'm not working, she thinks I should be with her. I would like to have a life, I have my own family. she's 85
Turn this problem over to professionals, as other posters have advised. I especially like Pam's suggestion about asking the apartment manager to initiate the action. If the manager won't, then do it yourself.
Would you mind checking in once in a while with how the nursing home is working out? We learn from each other.
Personally, I think the doctor should break the news that she needs to be in the nursing home. Then you can commiserate and comfort her and agree that she needs to be where the doctor decides.
