Hi. This is my first post so apologies if got it in the wrong place. My wife's aged aunt has just been diagnosed with early onset dementia and before Christmas moved from sheltered accommodation into a residential home. Over the last two months when talking to her we've noticed she is increasingly living in a different world. She describes events in great detail which include some real places and people but mixed up with places and events we know were not part of the event. Up to now we've talked over the events with her to try and get her to remember more accurately. Yesterday though when we did this it clearly upset her to discover what she thought was real was not real. We don't want to cause her distress so wonder now whether we should encourage reality or whether we should participate in her delusion ? I imagine that as time goes on she will slip further from reality so we can't avoid the decision. Has anybody any advice on the best way to deal with it ?
