How do I get my mom motivated to move?

I thank all of you for your feedback. I appreciate the conversation and suggestions. I’m sure you can all relate to needing help & also having someone to talk to that knows what I’m going through.

Thankfully she doesn’t wander & I pray that doesn’t start. I bought my mom a kindle to play games on because she used to love to play solitaire & gin rummy so I downloaded them on the kindle but she won’t play it. There’s days that I can’t get her motivated & I get frustrated. Then I feel guilty for being flustered. I rarely get to go places because I have to have someone here & I know that just fuels my frustrations. After 2 years, this is still very hard.

My husband does the same thing. He sleeps all afternoon and then not at night. Short of throwing cold water on him, I can’t keep him awake. Does she wander the house at night and keep you awake? I got my husband an iPad and when he can’t sleep at night, he plays video games on it.

Have you considered applying for Medicaid for your Mom?
