My dad (90) has COPD, CHF, and a bad fall a year ago. Tries to constantly get out of his chair claiming to want to go home. Very hard to keep him safe when he tries to get up every few minutes. Telling him he's home doesn't help....anyone else have this problem and what do u do or say to calm them. He is nearing the end of life.
Does he enjoy reading? If so, get him his favorite magazines, then discuss what he's read afterward. If it's lightweight reading, which is good, he might enjoy sharing anecdotes.
What else did he used to do that he can still do?
Sometime too much anti- anxiety meds cause sleeplessness at night sleepy in the day....
