[quote=Anonymous]What prompted the love of you were in this situation?

My mom’s been noticeably declining in cognition,’language and memory. She had Alzheimer’s but it’s been fairly manageable in assisted living though recently she seems much more out of it.

Took my mom to the doctor to check for uti and they did a cognitive screen (6 question She got a 25 (anything above a 10 is cognitive decline/issues and highest/worst score is 28. She scored 15 last year.

Questions included
What year is it (2022?)
What month is it? (No idea no one know what month it is)
Count backward from 20 (she did this fine)
Say the months backward (she got lost after October)
What’s your address? (With prompting she recalled the name of her assisted living but not anything else).

I’m guessing we will be in memory care by years end but so far her assisted living hasn’t said anything (she doesn’t wander and isn’t aggressive, just confused and loses things constantly). I do not think the memory care where she is living is good so I’ll have to move her which will be very difficult for her.
