Hi everyone, thank you for letting me join you all. My beautiful and wonderful Mother in Law has dementia, My father in law is really struggling. Both my husband, Andy, my daughter Jenna and I are looking for ways to support them both. We live over a 100 miles away from them and they have no local friends or family to turn to. At this time I am not sure what type of dementia my Mother in Law has; what we are looking for are tips on how to advise my father in law on some of her behaviours. Currently my Mother in Law has been 'escaping' from the home whilst my Father in Law is asleep (usually when he takes afternoon naps). He doesn't feel comfortable taking her key away and locking her in because of her reaction when he attempts this. He is not in the best of health himself and I think he struggles with the confrontation if he tries to stop her leaving. Does anyone have a similar experiences of a sufferer 'escaping' and any tactics for dealing/preventing? Many thanks
