Mom is a social wallflower. When we did the initial tour of her dementia facility, it seemed calm and quiet, with sunny spots where she could quietly read or take a nap. But the staff insist on having her participate in social events, which she hates. It just gets her agitated and it takes forever to calm her down. The staff say agitation is to be expected, and they want to increase her meds to calm her down. I think the problem IS the staff. Why can’t they just leave her in her room to enjoy peace and quiet?
