Another idea, especially if you live away, it to tape record messages to her during odd times of the day and what is going on. Include music, other family members, etc. Talk with the administrator about this. When I worked in a nursing home before I got into computers, there were a couple of my clients that would receive 90 minute tapes about every two weeks and we would play these for them. It helped them to feel as if they were still part of the family plus I think familiar family voices really helped to calm them down.
