My Mom Won’t Sleep In Bed Anymore
Hi - my mother lives in a home with a dementia unit. She refuses to go to bed at night and sleeps sitting on her couch. This has been going on for months and no one at the home has any advice. They try to get her in bed and she returns to the couch. Has anyone experienced this with their loved one and/or does anyone have any thoughts or advice? Thank you!!
Hi, my husband reached a point where he insisted on sleeping downstairs on the couch, and he did really sleep. The situation was different in that he was in our home, not a facility. It became useless to try to change his preferred routine, so I just made him comfortable with a pillow and cover, and he was satisfied. I had a camera placed so that I could see him on my phone from my upstairs bedroom.
I’m with the suggestion “pick your battles”
Is the facility complaining about it? I see no issue here. She is not disturbing others and is in a safe environment. Forget it. Not a problem. She is happy.
My mom slees on chair or coach. Got her recling chair that is like a bed
How long has she been there? Maybe put a blanket or something on it that she recognizes as hers from home.
