Been caring for my mum age 90 for end of life care for multiple illnesses including heart failure and bowel cancer, new diagnosis of vascular dementia that seems to come an go with onset of fatigue mainly but has become much more frequent in last few weeks. Mum is very ill and is mainly bedridden confined to her bedroom (legs won't hold her up most days) some days gets to chair next to bed for couple of hours. Problem is vascular dementia (new diagnosis) is causing her to believe she is out somewhere (multitude of places) and is stuck there wanting to go home often with her cat!! She becomes extremely distressed, does not recognise she is in her bedroom and seeing things that simply are not there, an nothing you can say will convince her all is ok. Really struggling as she is confined to one room upstairs now. (can't whip her out round the block an hey presto home to relieve the issue). The only thing to make all this go away is sleep but obviously that is impossible nearly to get her to sleep when she is convinced she is stuck somewhere else. This can go on for hours an gets worse as time goes on. I have zero idea how to deal with this best and it is far worse the days the carers are there. It awful seeing her so distressed an if anyone has any advice how to best deal with this I would be very grateful. Memory clinic told me there is no medication that helps vascular dementia and pretty much wished me good luck an goodbye. So any help appreciated. Thankyou
