[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Therapeutic lying. House needs to be fumigated; doctor wants her to recover for a few weeks (only works after a fall etc). How bad is her dementia? Will she forget you told her? Also yes does she need 24/7 watching? (Does she wander? Will she drive or hurt herself or others if unattended?) or is she just losing short term memory ?[/quote] This. It works better if she has had to go into a hospital and you have her transferred directly to a care facility. Once someone has dementia, trying to reason with them doesn't work as well. [/quote] If you can, this tends to work best. Although can't always be lined up with when a preferred place has availability. Ignore what she is saying, OP, its fear and dementia talking. Do you or any family members live nearby? Or will she have to be relocated geographically as well? [/quote]
