The memory care that my mom's is at..says because the state has requested them to close one of the cottage because of them being short staffed and numbers of falls they had..so my mom is in one of the houses that they will have to close down..my mmom is on hospice and is suppose to be on stage 7..I dnt see any other way of not having to moving her..
If they have to, they have to. But their project management sucks - how long have they had to prepare for this?
Yes, sometimes a change in scenery and routines can be difficult for persons with dementia. It is sometimes necessary, and can't be helped. People in the end stage of the disease may not always be so aware of their surroundings so this might not matter to your mother as much as it might have earlier.
Will the same hospice staff serve her in her new location? Do you visit often? Often that kind of continuity is more important than what the room looks like.
It is good that a facility not take in more residents than they have staff for. The timing of this change is unfortunate for you. You and Mom will get through it, though. Just one more bump on a very bumpy road.
