[quote=Anonymous]No way sorry. Maybe in the early stages but not later on. My parent w dementia has at times: been really angry, aggressive and mean, saying awful things, throwing and breaking objects in the house, staying up til all hours of the night, stomping around and turning music up loud, left dish towels on top of a hot burner starting a small fire, locked herself into/out of rooms, ran water until it overflows, physically hurt others, hide things around the house constantly and no one can find them (this has happened multiple times w important items like keys and phones, medicine) etc etc. I don’t expect my young kids to understand that. It’s scary and upsetting even for adults and it’s not a safe environment. It could be very damaging to them not to mention how unfair it is to the person w Alzheimer’s who no doubt feels unsafe and confused living like that as well. [/quote]
