Spoke to my parent today, who is in the rehab facility recovering from a bout of pneumonia. My parent was completely hallucinating. I tried to talk to the nursing staff, the front desk, I even texted the executive director of this facility as he gives out his cell number on communications. I received no call, no answer nothing. I am not sure what to do next. Help, please.
Not only that, the one behavioural unit I found to try and get him on meds for his dementia, they are not trying just telling me he is fine. Everything that I reported does not exist but yet they don’t know when they plan to discharge.
I hope some changes have taken place for you.
Thank you again!
Are you able to go there physically?
How long has your parent been there?
Have you considered calling 911 if you are unable to get there yourself?
Hallucinations can be caused by urinary tract infections in the elderly. Not saying that is the case, it's just a good piece of information to have.
