My mom has been in Memory Care for 2 years and has had off and on delirium. Most recently, she is falling every night because she cant sleep due to delirium and the anxiety it causes. Huge gashes, black eye, pain from the falls. Hospice nurse recommends 24 hour ativan to keep her in bed, but the ativan makes her completely non-responsive. Says if mom breaks a bone due to delirium, it will be much worse. I guess we are at the end. It is so hard to essentially put her in a coma.
