hello, my mum is 92 and over the past year has had memory loss. I had put it down to being 92. Over the past couple of months she has declined . On Sunday afternoon, she became really upset with me and accused me of being deceitful as I had moved her from her old home to this one. Cleverly putting all the furniture in the same place? There was nothing I could do to convince her.
On Monday Mum said she had proved that this wasnt her old home as she has returned to her old flat that morning to collect a watch from her bedside table. So she has proof that she had been moved. Why were people lying to her.
Mum lives in a one bedroom flat in a retirement block. She has lived there for 9 years.
Can anyone give me advice with how i deal with this? Is it best just to agree ? Or keep trying to convince her that she has not moved anywhere. No one has moved her.
My GP did suggest a memory clinic before Christmas but I have heard that these can be demeaning. My mum is very proud and hates being talked to as a child. She worked until she was 86.
