A Geriatric psychiatrist needs to see her. She needs meds for depression and anxiety.

Of course she hates it. She wants a home where she is 30 and healthy and pretty and competent.

She probably does need medication. Can you talk to the director of nursing or the social worker there? Maybe she is happy sometimes when you aren't there. Maybe in a week or three she won't hate it so much because it will be more familiar.

For the sake of both of you, choose not to feel guilty. Choose to be compassionate. Give her sympathy and hugs. That will feel good to both of you. Her life is hard, but that's not your fault.
