Hello @vandys and welcome to the Dementia Support Forum. I am sorry to read about your mom having covid. Unfortunately any infection is inclined to affect people with dementia quite badly. Sometimes they will get back to where they were before the infection but sometimes they may not go back to the same baseline. In the meantime all you can do is to try to make sure that your mom eats and drinks well and also rests as she recovers.
Hello and welcome, any sort of infection let alone covid can cause a sudden downturn but not always permanently so, bacterial infection like a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) are often quoted, however, viral infections like covid, no idea, that said long covid is a whole different ball game if that's what it turns into.
Had covid myself, not the best of times and I post on here as a carer, took me out of the game for some time.
All better now sat posting in the kitchen at home against all odds.
All here to listen. K
