[QUOTE="Corncobcon, post: 542717, member: 4150"] My Mother had dementia which turned into alzheimers. Google dementia and find out all about it. It's very debilitating, especially when the person affected by it totally denies having it. You need to help the person as much as possible and don't get upset or mad at them, no matter what they do. Getting them to accept it or accept care, or a caregiver is almost impossible for some. When my Mother was in the last days and in a home, my son and I visited on her birthday. She acted surprised but didn't know what day it was. She also kept calling me by my dad's name and my son by my name. From that point on, it just got worse. My mother was always a little bit wacky and I never thought much of it, so after 9 years of caring for her, a big relief was lifted off my shoulders when she passed. The best thing to do is console them and make them as comfortable as can be. My heart goes out to those with this and to the caregivers also. [/QUOTE]
