[quote=Anonymous]It’s just part of the disease. My theory is that it’s a combination of them not being able to recall the information so they just make something up that sounds plausible (to their diseased minds), and them trying to retain some sense of normalcy. My mom would swear that in her memory care they were all locked in their rooms “for days” and not allowed to leave them and she never found out why. She’s mentioned this a few times. Staff has no clue what she’s talking about, and I have pictures of her enjoying activities on the days she purports she was locked down. We have cameras in her room so have been able to confirm that whatever she’s talking about never happened. However there have been a few instances where I’ve seen her on camera waking up at 2 or 3am and leaving her room- in those cases I’m sure the staff sent her back. So in her mind everyone is in lockdown. Man I hate this disease so much.[/quote]
