[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once the person stops recognizing their home as home, all bets are off. My aunt constantly tried to leave (her home of 30 years) to go home and find her mother. When we prevented her, she became violent- we moved her to Silverado in Alexandria and she was much safer and well cared for.[/quote] OP here. My MIL is the same. She doesn't always recognize her house as 'home'. Sometimes she thinks she lives elsewhere and she says she wants 'to go home'. There are signs on the walls saying that this is her house but I don't think it makes any difference. She doesn't really read them unless someone points them out to her. She does remember things from her distant past and her childhood though, sometimes in detail, and sometimes mixed up with facts from a different story. We'll have to wait and see how her illness develops.[/quote]
