My mother lives with my brother who is her main carer.
Since the first lockdown, my mother has started to believe that there are three people living in the house. She often mentions the third person to me when I speak to her by phone every day (I live a long way away), and my brother said that she sometimes cooks for three people and puts out three coffee cups every morning.
I think that maybe she is thinking that my dad is still around (he died 15 years ago). She has not been diagnosed with dementia and this problem has only emerged since the first lockdown.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could anyone advise me?
Many thanks
