[quote=Anonymous]A relative stayed at home with dementia. She wanted to go home…to her childhood home, which had been sold 30 years prior. So don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s not about the bricks and the furniture, they want to feel like themselves and feel a sense of agency and confidence that they can’t get to any more. So try to hear that message and don’t get fixated with them on the house. If there’s anything you can do with them that does make them feel like themselves, try to pivot to that. Whether it’s gossip, listening to music, whatever. [/quote]
