[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father has dementia and he is still living in his own house that he has lived in for over 50 years and he says he wants to go home all the time. [b]This is common for people with dementia because they don’t know where they are and they think themselves, oh if I could just go home I would know where I am and I would feel better.[/b] The social worker told us that[/quote] Wow. So heartbreaking. [/quote] My mom had Alzheimer's and is living in her own apartment but thinks everything on it was left my the previous owner. As in "we are so lucky the previous owner left us this couch" or "the previous owner left me her clothes". Luckily my mom says the previous owner had impeccable taste😁[/quote] Aww, I know it’s can make your heart ache but it also gave me a smile.[/quote] In some ways, it's true. The previous owner is still lurking somewhere inside their heart. <3 [/quote]
