So sad, so upsetting so worrying.

After having a terrible day yesterday and then ray kicking off big time this morning - I went to see Mum. She seemed fine and I went to get a drink and saw Tom. He told me that Mum had refused to sit at the table with the other people and Mum went back to her room. They took her dinner to her and she refused and went back to the lounge. By then all the others had finished their meal and left the table so Mum sat and ate her meal alone and was ok. Even Frank seems to be on her list of people she dislikes now and she really liked Frank. Mum doesn't seem to like anyone anymore and her paranoia is frightening.
Her purse is hidden under her pants as she is afraid someone will steal it - it has all of three pounds in it!
She asked if she could come and live with me - someone could come in to look after her and she would help me with the dogs. I nearly broke down. I don't try to explain why it is not possible as she doesn't understand.
I am angry that nothing has been done to help Mum's hearing problems. She cannot hear the tv and today I called her 4 times (I was within 4 feet of her) before she heard me. Last week I saw a carer look very cross with Mum as Mum couldn't hear what she was saying.
How many more fights must I go through to keep Mum safe and cared for the way she deserves to be?
