She hates us all for taking her to AL. She calls us traitors. After the third time of hurting herself and ending up in hospital they gave us no choice. SHe had funds and we would have to get her in AL . She has been dealing with meds. for depression and anxiety just started this summer....downhill ever since. Now they say moderate dementia and ALZ ....6 months ago they said memory problems probably from depression now they admit she has ALZ .It has been a nightmare for my Mother and us. Several different medications and things just worse everyday now she complains she can't see very well ..Her eyes the pupils are cloudy recently....Everytime I mention something they give her another med. that gives her diarehhea....
The stuttering and eye problems do make me think that her meds need to be closely examined. Adding too many new things at once can cloud the issue so it's hard to tell what is a health problem and what is a medication side effect or interaction. You could ask a pharmacist to go through the medication list, too, looking for interactions.
You are wise to look at the health issues and ask for explanations and even a second opinion if warranted. As far as her adjustment goes, you'll have to wait out her anger. Hopefully, she'll learn to enjoy herself once she learns that this is her new home.
Good luck.
