Mom is in her 90’s and has been living with us for almost a year. She has mild dementia, but today when I to wake her she was fully dressed and in her chair. She related how I came down last night after she had gone to bed. She told me to go back to bed and that she could take care of herself today. None of that happened! Then she proceeded to dress and go back to bed in her day clothes! She is quite upset that I told her I did not come down and feels like she is losing her mind. Is this Sundowners?
Don't argue with someone who had Dementia. You will never win. Your Mom has lost the ability to reason. TV and dreams become part of their reality. Mom is going to have hallucinations. My Mom always saw a little girl. A bad little girl. I could hear her over the monitor talking to her. But the girl would be gone when I got to Moms room.
The problem with Dementia is that its unpredictable. Never know from day to day how the person will be. You think u have it all down pat and boom, they do something out there. Thats why I had a hard time with it.
