My mom has been in a memory care facility for about a month now. I’ve been able to visit one time and my brothers have visited as well as her sister, a couple of friends, etc. she’s on hospice car so nurses, aids and chaplain have been there too. Since I live out of state, I also call her a couple of times of week - every time that I call the entire phone call is when are coming to get me to take me home. I’ve asked everyone else and she never says that to any of them and didn’t say anything at my in person visit …I’m not sure how to handle the phone calls going forward, we don’t talk about anything else even with me trying to redirect the conversation several times to other topics. Should I stop calling and focus solely on in person visits once a month? Thanks
