My mum with Alzheimer's has very recently started asking how long she has to stay "in this place" meaning her house she's lived in for 40 years. She's also been telling my aunt she stayed over somewhere else like a home but I know she's not been anywhere. It's happened just after Christmas so her and dad have had a fair few visitors which might be confusing?
I know this is common in those with Alzheimer's but I had always associated with later stages. Mum can still dress herself, shower, get the bus to town etc.
What could have triggered it and is there anything we can do to help her feel settled in the house?
