[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the reality of dementia.   No, people with dementia can't be left alone for a few minutes.  It's difficult and exhausting to care for someone with dementia, and is a 24/7 job.  Either you do it, or you hire someone to do it while she visits you.

She can very safely stay alone - she is not that far along yet. Also, I think you misread my post. She is visiting, that means she stays in my house. I am the one who wants to leave the house alone. I didn’t say that she needs to leave the house alone.[/quote]

Um, I think you misread MY post.   I didn't say anything about your mom leaving the house alone.   And I acknowledged that I know she is visiting when I said (my very last words) "while she visits you."

If she "is not that far along yet" and "can very safely stay alone," then go ahead and leave her at home alone while you leave the house.   What's the problem?[/quote]

My DH also works from home. There’s always someone there. And loneliness doesn’t mean being alone for half an hour. That’s not what loneliness is. [/quote]
