anonymous, that's good, though I guess that doesn't really solve the problem, but at least if you fall asleep hopefully if she tries to go out you'll hear her; we were just a little too late, but never dreamed dad could get out

It's tough when they don't sleep, at least when my mom went through that phase she could no longer get up on her own, so when I was desperate for sleep I just used earplugs. You say she is already on meds, it may be that they need to be tweaked a bit or changed. We also found melatonin to be helpful, you can start with a very small dose, 2-3 mg.

I have alarms on all my doors. Thank you, debdaughter. I'm about to put a chime on my mom's bedroom door also and I have a baby monitor set up.

Hi,
Thank you. My mother just went to the doctor for her 3 month check up. No UTI and she is on anxiety meds and they recently increased her antidepressant. Her caregiver during the day is to have her exercise and do activities with her. I've asked her to keep her away from the tv all day as she can't follow the shows and she needs to stay active.

Also make sure she is getting plenty of exercise\ activity during the day..
