[quote=Anonymous]Regardless of the reason, your mom’s brain does not retain information. So repeating the same thing over and over, or trying to correct her will never work. Read up on how to talk with dementia patients. You have to go with the flow and mirror their feelings. Are kids in the basement? Yes they are. (Doesn’t matter that there isn’t a basement. It closed the loop in her head) I use a lot of “you must feel sad” “that must make you angry” In many ways it’s like dealing with toddler tantrums. [/quote]
