[quote=Anonymous]One additional experience as a guardian for an aunt with dementia. Our primary plan was to have her age in place with 24/7 care, but as her dementia progressed she became increasingly agitated in her own home (in which she had lived for 30+ years). She kept eloping because she claimed she wanted to go home - she no longer recognized her own home as hers. So keeping her home became really moot. We moved her to Silverado in Alexandria after she broke a window in her own house because she wanted to go home. She ended up thriving at Silverado as she was a very social creature who loved “helping” the other residents, and often seemed to think she was at a hotel or on a cruise.[/quote]
