[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. My dad had dementia and from what I understand, trajectories can vary considerably. To keep her at home as long as possible, it might be helpful to have someone with elder care experience do an assessment of her living conditions - it's almost like professional babyproofers, they will help you identify hazards. You should also be contemplating options for when she needs more intrusive care - it's much easier to investigate memory care or skilled nursing when you're not in a crisis situation. Also fwiw, since you said your mom has mellowed with dementia, I just wanted to say that not every person with dementia becomes combative or difficult - my father always had an upbeat talkative personality (he was a salesman) and those qualities intensified as his dementia grew worse. [/quote] You are so lucky! It would be a much easier disease if this happened to everyone. My Mom got paranoid and violent. [/quote]
