[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's full-blown dementia, OP. They need a memory care unit. They cannot stay home, unless you really hate your relatives who will need to be caregivers, or they have enough money to hire aides 24/7. [/quote] +1 A competent spouse and a caregiver a few hours a week is not enough. She needs someone awake and focused 100% on her 24/7, or placed in a memory care unit. My mom was like this, and if my dad left the room even for 10 minutes to brush his teeth and get dressed, she would be out the door. For 24/7 awake caregivers, expect to pay $30-40k per month.
