Find Care & Housing
Lori - I'm sorry the first nursing home you tried was bad - investigate others. This attempt to care for her at home with this behavior is not a tenable situation for your safety or hers and simply cannot continue. It is not your fault, and it is not probably not your mom's fault that she can no longer control herself.

POSSIBLY - another geropsych stay with medication management could change her behaviorally substantially enough to make a difference; I'm guessing you got no meds because you pulled her out AMA from the facility? Or maybe they were overmedicating and you stopped everything instead of jut cutting back on dosages or asking about changing meds? And, are you sure the facility was bad, or was it your own guilt and emotions (seeing a parent decline is a terrible stress and burden for anybody, even if they aren't getting physically beaten up in the process) that made impossible for you to let her stay there?
