[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Caregiving for dementia doesn’t go perfectly and it’s really important to support and not micromanage the people doing the heavy lifting. Sometimes you try an approach and it doesn’t work. Sometimes it works perfectly on Tuesday and goes wrong on Thursday. Do you think you’ve figured out dementia care from this one experience? Don’t waste time here! Go write the book! That was harsh. I get that knowing your dad was in distress is difficult. The wanting to go home is heartbreaking, I know. I had a relative doing dementia care at home, and he had periods of intense agitation wanting to go “home” to his childhood home, which was sold decades before, to see his mother, who died decades before. It’s very hard. [/quote] if it makes you feel better, my dad aged and died in his childhood home, which he inherited from his father. he would ask to go home all the time, while in the house he spent the vast majority of his life living in.[/quote]
