Ok, most of you know that my grandma is in a Alzheimer nursing care place, She has been having some fluid retention problems and they say she may be in kidney failure, but anyway she also has been having some behavior issues. They keep calling my aunt and telling her about it. We are afraid she is going to get kicked out of the place. Yesterday she hit a lady that works there because she thought another resident was her child and she was dragging the person along and they didn't want to go. The worker tried to get my grandmother to let go of the other resident and she then hit the worker because " she tried to take her child" I told my mom see how safe you were when you were little!!! So they had to rub more antipsychotic cream into her arm. My poor aunt gets a phone call everyday about what my grandma has "done" she said it's like being called to the principals office for your bad child. Well that's the update for now, I have to get off here and go Vote, and set up my Awana room. Pray for my family this gets harder all the time with my grandparents and it's really taking a toll on all of us.

We went through similar things with my dad when he was in a home. He was actually catching the workers STEALING and they'd report him for "hitting", cussing, abusing them, etc... until my mom was so fed up, she removed him. He was doing all those things, but they were doing nothing to STOP him from doing it. They then went under an investigation and thefts and abuse were discovered. You grandma should have a case worker and that case worker should be able to communicate with the workers - this is NOT unusual behavior for an alzheimer's patient...
No, I'm sure she hit her, she has hit my grandpa, and tried to bite my Mom, spit on her and other similar things. When she feels threatened or you don't do what she wants she gets very angry. She had a controlling personality before, she was a take charge person. My aunt has her power of attorney and believe me we might switch places if we believed she was being abused but she doesn't have thing one there that is worth stealing. She doesn't have any Jewlery or cash and only a few changes of clothes and a doll.
