Find Care & Housing
Why would you be thinking 'sinister'? Odd word to be using if you placed your loved one in a SNF that you personally chose and checked out yourself!!

She could easily have suffered a stroke and that's why she's no longer ambulatory and you're seeing such a decline. Not to mention, dementia can progress rather quickly, even if she didn't have a stroke, so that's something else to consider, but I'd be inclined to think stroke myself.

Good luck!

She was placed in care by our hospital social services. Due to her chronic falls. Not my choice. Medicaid bed availability in our county next to non existent. Been trying to find Ltc for her for 4 years to no avail even as far away as 100 miles.

Probably a combination of the move (DON'T feel guilty) and simply the passing of time. A problem that would have happened whether you'd had her placed or not.

You could mention this to the staff and have her checked for a UTI or possible TIA.

And yes, people can change that rapidly.
