[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My concern is him not understanding where he now is, where his family is, being confused, feeling abandoned, getting depressed. [/quote] He likely does not know who they are anymore, but can enjoy their visits. With my own parent they sense emotion, but don't know who you are. So if you visit and are happy and loving, the person with dementia catches the mood. If you are exhausted and losing it (which I saw happening even with 24-7 care, because caregivers need time in their own home without a constant stream of strangers) the person with dementia senses the frustration and can become stressed.[/quote]
