Sundowners and the elderly…

Our mom is 94 and dementia is slowly taking her away. She thinks she’s in places she’s not and mixing the past with the present.

We had her in independent living with care givers, but it got to be too much for them. A few months ago, we moved her to assisted living, but that turned out badly. She had someone else’s file (similar name) in her folder and was given the wrong meds for a few weeks.

That has been corrected, but she continues to lash out and say ugly things to people. I know it’s not her, but her dementia. The current facility wants her out now.

We are scheduled to move her to a memory care place Friday, but we are worried about her mental state and the new place will not want her.

Obviously, we don’t want to over sedate her.

What are our options? What have others here done for aging parents or family members?
