She wants to go home
Hello everyone. I’m sure this has been discussed,but I’m new here and couldn’t find anything. My MIL has been in a therapy/nursing home since last September. I lost my mom , and then MIL had a stroke 4 days later. We are dealing with her crying everyday wanting to go home. The stroke affected her right side. She can’t get up alone or walk. She can now raise her right arm about halfway. She has lost her ability to recall the names of things as simple a light ,a chair & has now forgotten how to use her makeup. My FIL is 86,he can barely walk on his own,but he thinks he can take her home & care for her. He’s not thinking about showers,bathroom accidents & everyday things. I’m needing any advice y’all can give us ❤️
