[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 669040, member: 18958"] When my mother was at the board and care home for those 10 weeks(horrible, terrible weeks for both of us) she was taken to the clinic and dropped off. Nobody stayed with her. She began to scream and scream. Nobody knew what to do with her. Her appointment was for the psychiatrist. Because nobody knew what to do or to take responsibility she was taken instead to the emergency hospital. She missed her appointment. My poor mother. I do not know how I let her stay there for almost 10 weeks. Those weeks were so horrible. I had thought she could go to day treatment every day in a van. The first day they came for her, they had to bring her back. She began screaming and told them she would turn them all in for elder abuse. She must have been so afraid. She must have scared the other old people. The director called me. I did not know what to do. She had visited that program and had wanted to go. I had had so much hope. I was over my head. That is when my depression began. I was truly over my head in a nightmare which has still not stopped. A binder would have been a good idea. Except if they let her go alone...would they really have respected a binder. How hard is dying. Sometimes. Leafy, it is painful to read about your mother. Do it anyway. We need to know. Only by sharing will you find a way to do this and to help your mother do so. I am sorry that you are both going through this. I wish it could be easier. COPA [/QUOTE]
