My mother is currently placed in a SNF and we had a meeting today because the facility wants to remove her due to the verbal abuse my mother has towards the staff.
My mother has dementia and she is not exactly kind towards the staff. She is pleasant with the residents, but with the staff she is ruthless. I have spoken with her doctors and they have told me this type of behavior is fairly common and if she is not physically abusive they see no reason for medication especially if she is only targeting the staff. As they told me, medication will not alter how she feels towards the staff.
So, what exactly are my options? Can they really remove my mother because she is verbally abusive to the staff? What else can I do besides medication. Am I in the wrong to thinking the staff is being a tad soft so to speak.
I do feel for the staff and the RN did ask me why do I feel so entitled to allow my mother to treat the staff poorly without even trying medicine.
I am just differing to her doctors, they say it is not nesscary. I do feel bad that is why our family will be coming over more during the week, but still these facilities should not take people Unless they are prepared to deal with them. If they do not have the skill to do so maybe they should also make strides to get better Traing.
