[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Spoken like someone who hasn’t had a parent with ALZ or dementia. There is NO learning new things. It’s the slow withering of already acquired skills and trying to implement anything new that they themselves are responsible for will fail. The OP’s mom needs to be in memory care.[/quote] My mom has mis stage Alzheimer’s. I think I could probably track her progression by noting when she stopped being able to use anything technological. It started with the failure to learn to use a smartphone 3-4 years ago (I had hopes she could use Lyft etc). Then she stopped using her computer . Than the tv. Now she keeps turning off her answering machine by accident (there are only 2 buttons, one for on/off and one for play/erase). She also couldn’t remember how to make coffee. [/quote] Off topic but maybe relevant to OP There's this thing called a GrandPad that I think was designed to address some of these elder issues. https://www.grandpad.net/?utm_term=grandpad&utm_campaign=RA+%7C+SN+%7C+Branded&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=3189703085&hsa_cam=15176817987&hsa_grp=128923429109&hsa_ad=559335476077&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-312210932054&hsa_kw=grandpad&hsa_mt=b&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAw6yuBhDrARIsACf94RX5Kwgby4AqkaY4zM7uK5Zp37CIyD1sMPXEBjluTHGjZ9xZ9_PzEYEaAt1MEALw_wcB[/quote]
