This will be a big adjustment for her and for you.
Rest assured that she is in a safe place, and should be cared for.
They will ensure that her daily needs are met.
YOur family has been through the wringer.
She knows that you love her and that is what matters.
It is probably best to not take her out of there on passes for a long time,
she needs to settle in and get used to her new home.

The doctor at the hospital has said he was impressed that we made it this far with her (given everything we've been through), but that "it's now time to give her 24/7 professional care".
I know the hospital is a great place for her and that she'll be okay in the end, but it's sad because she doesn't know any better. She thinks it's all temporary. She will probably ultimately figure out what's going on and be very, very depressed.
The hospital said she has "dementia with behavioral problems" and that the behavioral problems are related to "manic highs" or something like that. I don't know because I've never known anyone in my family to have bipolar, so it is a shock to me.
