Mother rejected from two memory care facilities

mrzjhoward · September 3

My mother was rejected from two memory care facilities.Because she did not want to stay there and wanted to go home. We're running out of options and we're not able to get her the care she needs. She is staying in a mental health facility, and they're wanting to discharge her. We are unable to care for her. We don't know what to do. Mother lives in Texas.

Hi, I am kinda of in the same boat. Mom has vascular dementia, 92 with many health issues. She is in CA and I am in TX. She has been in an independent living situation with lots of home care. She has now run out of money and can no longer stay where she is and it has been a circle and hours of calls to find the right organization for support. She is refusing to move and gets agitated. I really have no idea what to do.

My brother in Chicago (I live near Seattle) wants to move from the facility he's in while he still has some money which makes him attractive to another facility before he has to go on Medicaid. He's "losing things" from his room though he keeps it locked. The latest is 16 shirts which disappeared while he was at the meal. His paranoia has gone straight up. It is hard for me to sort out what is real and what is imagined from this distance. Our only recourse short of moving is medications to calm him down. Anti-psychotics are really hard on the elderly I read, so I'm on the fence with what to do. I feel like I'm holding a puppy under water to kill it when I consider my options for him. Particularly if I don't help him find another facility. I've done some delaying tactics but are there other options?
