Hi there.
My mum who is 88 has vascular dementia which seems to have taken a turn for the worse.
She is living in warden controlled accommodation, has carers in three times a day (mainly to support me) and I go in each day or take her out shopping, day centre, meet friends etc. My main concern now is she doesn't recognise her home at all. I dread taking her out now because each time I take her home it is a trauma. She cries, shouts at me to take her to her "proper home". I have tried all tactics, but nothing works. She is so convinced we are trying to torment her (always had a strong personality) I really don't know what to do anymore.
She packs bags, asks neighbours to take her home, rings me to take her home, every day this is happening now. She is so not happy and I don't know what the solution is.
Can anyone help please, any advice?
