Hi, everyone
My mom, with moderate Alzheimer's, has just started getting things out of closets, dressers, desks, kitchen cupboards, etc., but doesn't put anything back. My dad suggests that she finish one "project" before she starts another one, but she doesn't. She won't let anyone help her put things away because then "she won't be able to find it again." She can't remember where things are now, which might be way she is taking everything out of places. Is this common in people who have Alzheimer's and is there anything we can do to help? I live too far away to go help her organize and she won't let me label cupboards and drawers for her.
