They ought to have a Geri chair there? No? After reading this post about the dilemmas at the dinner table I can't help but wonder why the staff hasn't tried her with a Geri chair. If you were able to buy or rent one (maybe even a used one) you wouldn't be able to make sure it was used for your mother exclusively, so there's that to keep in mind. Good luck with everything.

You have done a fabulous job with your Mom.......Hi,<br />You have done a fabulous job with your Mom.... It's really hard to get them to eat when they don't want to - or do anything!! That's really hard; sometimes we went through periods where we had to do some little 'snacks' instead of a full meal. Momma would get stressed if there was too much food on her plate. So we'd put a little and refill and that worked well for a while. I'm trying to think of a way that you might be able to get that to work for you.... Maybe some zippy bags with little snacks in her apartment?<br /><br />Oh, my heart hurts when I see how bruised Mom's get when they fall. I'm so glad that she wasn't hurt worse than the bruises! The call is always so stressful for you too.<br /><br />Please know you are never far from my thoughts and prayers. Every day is a good day when your Mom still smiles at you and knows a little bit who you are! <br /><br />:)aArlene - Caregiver ordinairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117709975325126788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688361033411785711.post-12813136873513035362013-10-14T20:46:53.833-04:002013-10-14T20:46:53.833-04:00Good luck with your Mom and her care.

Hope she heals quickly.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688361033411785711.post-43724428189061110512013-10-14T20:46:06.363-04:002013-10-14T20:46:06.363-04:00It looks like a tough job caring for an Alzheimer ...It looks like a tough job caring for an Alzheimer parent.<br /><br />I'm glad that your mom didn't had anything broken after that fall. She could have been hurt badly. I hope that the big pillow helps her sit straighter.<br /><br />My neighbour friend had Alzheimer and she would forget how to open the door to get in her house, she couldn't communicate anymore but I took her to church with me to a meeting just so her husband could have a little time to himself and she remembered her prayers and recited them aloud with the best of us. For some it's old songs they remember when they were younger. They sing along.<br />It's hard to reach them sometimes.<br /><br />I hope that your mom will be on her best behaviour for you. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />JB<br /><br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688361033411785711.post-77121637088934313082013-10-14T18:00:11.343-04:002013-10-14T18:00:11.343-04:00Soooo much in common.

And the chair needs to be pushed in as far as it will go without squishing her. And when Mom gets a little stubborn with Auntie or the day care staff, they always say they are going to get Kim to come home. That usually does the trick. Maybe I'm scarier than you :). <br />Hang in there and good luck tonight. Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738934059756079283noreply@blogger.com
