My mum lives in a residential home and makes loud growling noises whenever I leave her and go across the room to speak to another resident. Is this just senility? I find it very upsetting and frightening and am worried that she will be moved to the alzheimers unit.
My last client would make these horrible sounds when I was changing him.... as he could not always communicate.... I would ask him if I was hurting him... he always said no.... but he continued to do it.... who knows.... I know if I was in some of our elders shoes, I would do more than grunting and groaning.... what a horrible thing for any human to have to exist in.....
What is your fear? Does she have other issues with memory and self care requiring this move?
