re: My Mom has been getting worse with her dementia

My grandmother has dementia. She is still in her house and we have two people stay with her and we do all we can. She is healthy as can be other then her mind is gone. She remembers things that happened in the past but nothing short term.
The worse is what they call sundowners syndrome. Around 4:00 everyday she gets mean as can be.
Meds do help with this (they just really take it down a notch).
It is a tough call to even out someone in a home and we have not had to yet because she is physically ok.
Make sure there are no car keys around they could get.
Keep them busy with little daily chores. Finding clothes for some reason works for us. If we are eating there we always have her do one thing like maybe the salad. If that becomes to stressful for them or just having food cooked to stressful with all the stuff going on just make it simple and order food to be delivered.
They will do stuff like throw their pills down the sink etc don’t take it to hard.
