My mum has recently moved in with me and my wife as she has had the sudden onset of Dementia. We are still pretty new to this and are just really finding our feet in coping with everything. Mum is very confused and when she says something strange we end up gently correcting her. Is this the right thing to do or should we just accept it and talk about something else?
I feel that constantly correcting her is adding to her confusion,but my wife thinks that just accepting it is not helping her?
We just dont know what is the best way of handling her confused thoughts?.
We would welcome any feedback
