How do I deal with my moms bad behavior in the assisted living facility?
We put my Mom in Asst. living a month ago, she was dilusional, they are giving her liquied in her coffee and it is helping, she wants to go home, there is no one in Ca to watch a caregiver if we hire one, my Mom gets rude and can say mean things, when I go to see her she wants her car keys and she wants me to drive her home, I would take her home for some hours but I feel she would scream and fight and not want to go back, she is blaming me, I somehow want to explain to her that I am not allowed to bring her home, (I am really afraid as to how it will turn out if she goes home.) The doctors called Adult protective services on my Mom for self neglect because she refuses any medication. I can barely handle the stress and she is under 24 care, who knows what would happen if she was home, I think she would scare away the caregivers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Ellie

This would allow you to visit her, in person, more often and maybe that would be a comfort to both of you,
I agree that she is not able to live on her own. The question you can best answer is what is the best place (nursing home) for her to life. If you review that (they pretty much all take medicaid) then you can feel positive about your choice of placement. That's the best you can do.
