[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother had dementia and man there was while where she was dialing everyone in her phone book. We eventually had to lose the book.[/quote] Watch that, we had to turn off 411 after MIL racked up hundreds of dollars in directory assistance charges. I don't have a lot of recommendations but I will say this period didn't last forever. We tried the phone is broken one but she just convinced others to let her use their phone. The best thing that seemed to work was to leave the landline for her to call. She was comforted by hearing DH's voice on the outgoing message and would leave us several messages a day. Her caregivers had our cell numbers and we knew they would call us if there was something really wrong.[/quote]
