My mom keeps yelling hello literally every 2 minutes which means she cannot be in a shared room and she irritates the other residents. Has anyone had this type of problem with Alzheimer's patients? And did you find any solutions? Ativan doesn't stop it or slow it down. I can't afford to have her in a private room. She has to much in monthly income to get Medicaid but not enough to continue with increasing care.
I'm assuming she's yelling from her room? Would she like to get up and out of her room? Does she yell when she's up and out of her room?
Ensure that her basic needs are being met first and then go from there. If she continues to yell she may need a higher dose of Ativan.
