Hi friends. I'm new to this forum and desperately need advice. My 90 yr old mom is not sleeping and therefore no one else sleeps. She also thinks this is not her home and asks to go home over and over again.
Not much advice I can give on the sleeping, OH never stops sleeping other than a few trips to the loo overnight.
But, Norms suggested the other day that someone with dementia talking about their dead mother may be just missing the comfort and reassurance she gave, so maybe your mum just misses her mum and expresses it that way. I have tried to comfort OH when she talks like that, this is not the family home she was used to right enough, and it does help. Not sure if any of that helps in your case, Trudy.
