Management says her family will not have her evaluated to be moved into memory care. They also refuse to have her moved into another room further down the hall or even to close her door. My mom is at her wits end. The lady yells for 4 to 5 hours at a time. She is an incredibly inpatient person & demands immediate attention. Apparently she was in the military & sometimes is calling for a Medic. The CNA & nurses are beside themselves because they need to check on her when there is nothing wrong. When she's asked why she's calling for help, she says it's because she wants to. Do I have any legal recourse to have this addressed? Please advise.
My mother went through various stages when she talked all night & would get into yelling/screaming matches w invisible people she saw but I didn’t. I bought a box of ear plugs, played radio louder & closed door of her room, put pillow over my ears….you get picture? Then she tired exhausted & slept quiet all next day. Hugs 🤗
If you “fight” this current situation, the next unpredictable problem will be lurking around the corner.
If the facility is not willing to act on this, I would be looking for another facility for my mom to live.
