I’m having some concerns about my mom the last 1 days. She started walking with her back slightly hunched, shuffles a little when she walks, and has basically just started functioning at turtle speed. She was fine a week ago. The day after Christmas the doctor put mom on haldol because she was becoming combative with dad and I. She just seemed more calm after she started talking the haldol but this is a different side of her I haven’t seen. She’s currently in hospice here at home. I’m wondering if I should call the nurse. She won’t even lay back on the couch. She just sits hunched over with her arms on her knees and just stares off. Her fingers shake more than they ever have. She now needs help walking to the dining room. Like I said, completely different from last week.

Call the hospice nurse now (don't wait until tomorrow morning), it might be the Haldol.

Agree completely, it's almost certainly the haldol. I wouldn't give her any more until you speak with them.
