Most 'facilities' have visiting 'pastors' or priests, or rabbi's that come and visit with residents. There is nothing wrong with what your mother is doing (in her eyes) or the eyes of the Lord. What is perceived as being 'wrong' in the eyes of the staff is that they are not understanding where your mother is coming from. Her deep rooted concern/upbringing is definitely affecting her behaviors now, much like a person that was tramatized in the past and is now distrustful of anyone that reminds them of that experience.

Why not have a 'visiting pastor' visit your Mom and talk to her on a regular basis. Doesn't this facility have services on campus? Surely this is not an unreasonable thing to expect, as they say: "the closer to the end, the closer to God" we are!

I would allow, even encourage her to continue to read the bible and then ask her what "Jesus" would do instead of asking what 'faith' others are. Perhaps this is her only way of communicating with others!

There was a woman in the facility where my mother was, that would carry on a SERMON after dinner! We would just join in with her, so she felt comfortable, and within ten minutes her praises to the Lord were over and she was happy! Isn't that what we want for all? Happiness?

God bless your mother, tell her to just relax and be happy. She knows the word, sometimes you just don't have to say ALL of them to get your point across.
