Hi, my dad has started to not recognise his house (where he lives with my mum) and keeps asking when he is going home.
I thought at first that he was thinking he still lived in the house he moved from 30 years ago, but he said that that wasn't the house he was thinking of. He couldn't explain where he thinks he lives, or also where he thinks he is now. He can't find his way around the house when he is like this.
I'm not sure what to say to him when he is like this. I feel that when I tell him he is already at home he gets more stressed, but he is still too aware for me to tell him that we will go home soon (he will say "you said that 2 hours ago" or "you said that yesterday").
Does anyone have any experience with this? Most other things that he gets confused with don't stress him out too much, but this seems to be.
Thanks
