[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Savor the fact they are pleasant, not agitated. I could visit my dad often because of that. As others mentioned (and I think I posted) favorite photos, cardgames from childhood, music, etc helps a lot. Spending time outside in nature helps. Yes, keep it short and sweet. It is a different thing if they are abusive. If she ever becomes abusive and they cannot medicate that away, my advice is very different. We did a lot of damage continuing to visit so much and it did damage to our kids they are still processing. Had to work with a therapist to totally regroup and protect our family. Hope that never happens to you OP and I don't wish it on anyone.[/quote] Sorry...to be clear...dad had pleasant dementia. Mom developed abusive dementia.[/quote]
