Have they checked for UTI? #1 cause of confusion in elderly - they dont know they have one and family thinks its dimentia affect. If that is cleared- do they have her dimentia meds like Aracept? That worked wonders for moms SUNDOWNERS... which is normal for dimentia and alzheimers. Sleeping pills are bad for dimentia- any narcotic exasperates dimentia and alzheimers symptoms. Does she like to rock? I got my dad in a rocking chair and he wore the carpet out. Yarn- he also loved pulling the yarn out. You are dealing with child mind. Time for child activities that dont require thinking. The way you do with babies. Get your "child" qualities working.

omg, I thought I had it rough. You have a FULL PLATE!!! What I do to deal with anger is usually bite my tongue and go into another room or onto the patio for a few minutes. It doesn't totally resolve it, but it helps me in the moment to not explode and say something I will regret. ... I know it's extremely difficult.
