My grandma has slight dementia and anxiety disorder, recently she got an UTI, and has been more confused (which I know is normal) and more anxious, to the point where she is calling me 2-3 times a day crying. The past two days she has called in the middle of the night. I love my grandma but her calling at all hours is starting to affect my work. She currently lives in assistive living and receives great care, she is fine when she interacts with them, and so I know some of this behavior is a guilt trip on me. She has a niece that lives one town away but because I live here and am in health care, all the responsibility falls on me. Her only child (my mother) passed away 13 years ago, when i was 18. I’ve tried staying away (in hopes she will make friends there), and when I visit I hear how bad she has it and how she hates the place where she is at (this is nothing new). I don't know what to do anymore help??
