My mom has moderate dementia. She is always losing he purse, keys, dentures, and money, etc. When I am ready to take my mom somewhere, she loses her purse right before we go or she can't find her glasses. My mom has lost her dentures again. This time, I can't find them. She also lost her keys for the third time. I bought a lanyard for her keys and a big key ring for her key, and she doesn't keep it in her purse. What should I do? She goes to Adult Day Care five days a week, and she usually forgets to lock the door. I don't know what to do about the key situation. I keep having to make new house keys for her. My mom usually keeps her dentures on the sink in the kitchen. I think that I will have to make an appointment for her to get new dentures. I don't remember who she has for a dentist. Maybe I should buy something special for her to put her dentures in and put a big label on her denture cup that says PUT DENTURES IN HERE. Any suggestions?
So in closing, I will just say, give up on trying to "fix" your mom and just try to figure out what you can do to make life a little easier on yourself. Hugs to you...prayers with you.
