Find Care & Housing
SplitSecond: When my late mother was in a nursing home, she confabulated similar stories, e.g. "He (a patient) got out of his bed to assist me," "The person (a patient) went back to their hotel" and "There is a body lying in the floor of my room." Imho, most of these stories were as a result of morphine still being in her system, since she had just arrived via ambulance from the hospital.
As far as your mother telling you these rather bizarre stories, they don't hold much merit and shouldn't be followed up on. Other scenarios that seem credible should be addressed. To be certain, install a camera IF permitted.

I read an updated post which said that you thought your Mom is miserable there.

If this is true, then you need to research other facilities for your Mom. Then report back to her what you found and why one would work or not work for her. If feasible, ask her if she would like to move to one of the places that you researched.

You can't really tell if she is telling you all these stories because they are true (in her head), true (really happened) or if she is interpreting the environment/actions incorrectly. I don't believe she is making up these stores. I just think she is mis-interpreting what she hears, the visual cues, and what she remembers.

I take action on nearly everything that my Mom tells me, even though she is in Memory Care. My Mom also accused me on being on the side of the care home and I told her that if she wanted me to follow up on the accusations, then I needed details on the incident. After I take action, I tell my Mom what happened or what is the status.

I don't know whether your Mom wears hearing aids or not, however, that is another potential source of confusion. Some combinations of words are very hard to hear clearly, much the less to comprehend. She could have interpreted wild parties, when in fact it was multiple aides helping a resident and she overhead their voices. If you do not wear hearing aids, you would be surprised at the number of times hearing impaired people are guessing at what you are saying. We make "educated" guesses and many times we are correct. However, many times we are wrong too.

The only way to get over your fear that your mother might be mistreated will be to have an idea of what might have gone on for her to have interpreted the event as she states it. Once you feel more confident in your assessment of what she says to you, the fear will subside.

My mother, age 84 with dementia, is in memory care. She has started to complain about "men" in her room and a "man" following her around. It turns out she has trouble recognizing who is a woman and who is a man. If the woman has pretty hair, jewelry, make-up, feminine clothes, higher voice, petite or slim, then my mother recognizes it's a woman. But if the woman has any combo of short hair, a large build, doesn't wear make-up or jewelry, has a deep voice, wears scrubs or uniform-type outfit instead of pretty clothes--then my mother thinks it's a man. Most of the care staff she sees are middle-aged women from Africa and the Caribbean. Some are very "old-country" or religious, so they don't wear make-up or wigs. Even the ones who usually wear a wig, might come to work without a wig sometimes, so they look like a man with short hair to my mother. The masks make it even harder to recognize anyone. She gets angry if a "man" is trying to toilet her in her bathroom. But then she can be sweet as pie to the next lady, who happens to be wearing full make-up and pretty hair.
