My dad has mixed dementia and has started lots of obsessive behaviours. He leaves the dogs toys in certain parts of her house and nobody is allowed to touch them. He calls them his friends. He is now starting to get obsessed with turning the heating thermostat up to 25. He’s constantly pressing buttons and house is like an oven. My poor mum keeps turning it down but he’s always turning it up.
He sits with numerous layers on and sometimes his coat and is just obsessed with heat. Is this normal? And am I right that people with dementia struggle to control their body heat?
Also when do you know your loved one has moved from the moderate stage to the advanced stage?
