When did you know it was time for memory care? My MWP has dementia and her nights are truly awful. She’s been yelling at her partner that she’s going to kill him, last night she was up multiple times yelling at her caretaker saying she was going to kill her. She was able to get her settled and back to sleep. However, I don’t think we can sustain night caretakers while she’s at home, she’s so disruptive to her partner and he can’t sleep. It just doesn’t feel safe and she’s recovering from a fall and two weeks at a SNF. It’s just so hard because during the day she can be very clear and has no idea how awful she is at night. 😞

Well, my MWP fell a couple nights ago and fractured 4 ribs. She was admitted to the hospital and is in excruciating pain. Of course now all I do is cry thinking of the pain she’s in, knowing how hard hospital stays are for her, knowing they’ll likely mess up medicine timing, knowing she’ll likely end up in a SNF. I am so exhausted, it is just one thing after the next. Just needed to vent to people who understand. The anxiety this gives me is next level. 😞
