By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or

Both the UTI and the blood sugar would cause Dementia type symptoms and she would be nasty. Make sure a culture is done for the UTI to determine what bacteria is causing the problem so the correct antibiotic is given. She should be on IV. My Mom was in 3 days just for a UTI. You have diabetes too that needs to be under control.
After she is stable, you should see a change in her. It may take a while but you should see a change. If she still shows signs of a Dementia, then you need to see a Neurologist to give u that diagnosis.
I would not consider Hospice until she is stable and has physical therapy. Then you can go from there. At this point I wouldn't overwhelm myself. Take it one step at a time. She is in the hospital for now, then hopefully rehab. You see how she is doing then you determine what to do from there. You can always come here for suggestions.
So glad u found the problem.
Just fyi since others are suggesting she get evaluated for hospice: this in no way means she is imminently going to die soon. My MIL was put on hospice after having original covid Mar 2020 and being incredibly sick for 4 weeks. They put her on hospice and she had a full recovery after that.
Has your mother been diagnosed with dementia in the past, or was that a layman's assumption, based on her paranoia and accusations against your wife?
Go back and read your other thread. Once the UTI has cleared, please get a geriatric psychiatrist consult before you decide on where to place her.
And yes, a hospice evaluation is in order.
If SW is unable to find a bed, that then becomes where will she go. Does she live with you? You with her? What is the situation? If you do not want her to return home you need to make that perfectly clear to the discharge planner/SW. She is not a safe discharge and she cannot get the care she needs at home.
Get her evaluated for hospice.
I looked at your post from a couple of weeks ago. You received 35 suggestions. It appears you provided feedback once. Hearing your thoughts is important and helpful when we try to offer suggestions. I am not saying to each comment, but somewhat more frequent.
