In a NH. She "thinks" she will be moving from there to another facility like an apartment or assisted living. She wont be. We brought her home for a Thanksgiving meal and it went fine. After she returned to NH, she began to press the issue as to "when is she going to the other home."
The NH staff suggests we should take her out to restaurants, etc, but NOT to our home because it may be stimulating her desire to leave.
It bothers me NOT to have her for a holiday meal.
Thoughts ???
Your Mom may have been fine for TGiving but has she declined since then. Six months can make a big difference in a Dementia brain.
Why not take the meal to her? Does the NH have a dining area where you can have a small gathering? Surely there's a way to bring the party to her, so to speak.
