I placed my mother In an AL facility this week and she has started hallucinating seeing several family members including my two sisters who have passed away. She only acknowledges me if I talk to her. Her behavior in the dining room scared other residents so they took her to memory care to eat. We decided it would be best if she eats in her room. I’m wondering what comes next.
Your mother could be reacting to the move and the change of scenery. People with dementia don’t adjust well to change. It’s no one’s fault and doesn’t mean you need to bring her out of her facility. She just needs time to adjust.
Best of luck!
