My mam has been in a dementia bungalow for nearly 5 months and she seemed to be settling in but has started asking when is she going home to her mam's house. The carers keep saying not today. Is that not giving her hope that one day they will say yes when it really isn't the case?
Your mam won’t remember that they have already given her that answer. She lives in the moment. If that answer satisfies her, it’s a good answer.
Hope is a wonderful thing for all of us to feel.
Hugs to you and your mam.
Have you heard of Teepa Snow? She produces wonderful YouTube videos on how to best deal with some forms of dementia symptomotology.
