My brother who lives in an assisted living, long story short, he had alcohol poisoning but has come a long way however his memory is not fully back. He is bored and restless, keeps packing his bags and
i know he is restless an bored, hates the place, but he won't give me any idea's what i can do to make things better. He had/has no hobbies, they were drinking beer and watching movies.
There may not be much you can do for him right now. Keep visiting and listening to him. He is still recovering. Encourage him to do any activities that the residence offers. I guess you can alert his friends
that he is still recovering and is not able to leave assisted living. I know it's hard. As his sister, you want to be able to help him... you must hate to see him in this kind of situation. God bless you and
i do try to encourage him to join the activities, tell him its his own fault if he's bored lol not nice sometimes but can only be nice so long. I have talked to his friend and they won't bust him out, however
they also says it so hard to visit him...well DUH. I am too upset to visit him but do call him every other day or so. He feels good so he thinks he's fine all around. So frustrating and out of my control
Remember, it is not in our control to fix everything... I finally figured that out after many years to trying. Now I place everything in God's hands and let his will be done. Not easy though.
