Last year (January) when i took my Mum to the doctors he arranged for MMSE and Mum scored 27/30. She got a lot worse by October and it was repeated and she scored 15/30. By November she went into residential care. She had it again last week and scored 8/30! I think the results are correct because i have been with her each time and can see how much worse she is getting for myself. My question is, has anyone else seen such a dramatic decline in such a short time? I am terrified. I thought this took years?
