My mother has been diagnosed with severe dementia and been living in assisted living the last 5 years. Her family doctor, geriatric psychiatrist and neurologist all agree she should be placed in a secure memory care unit where she can get more attention and that is overdue. She has a conservatorship of estate and health because of her illness.
The current public defender unit doesn't believe she is ready even though she has trouble speaking, toileting and showering. She basically sits downstairs with little interaction.
Is there anything that can be done to help my Mom and her move to a facility that specializes in memory care? Apparently the PD's office and judge are being difficult with many people needing memory care in our area. Thanks for your help.
