[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP does your mom rember from day to day? How severe is her dementia? I know how hard this is! I cared for my mom with Alzheimer's. I think having lots of pictures and familiar items around is good, and music that she likes can be really helpful. The caregivers will know how to keep her busy and they will introduce her to people and provide activities. [/quote] Thank you. No, she forgets from day to day. You can hold a conversation with her and she will be very sharp, but she will not remember when she saw you last and will ask when that was. I just spoke to her by phone and she told me she was confused and didn't understand why she was in a certain room with other people. She said everyone is very nice and the place is beautiful, she is just confused (and she knows it). [/quote]
