Can anyone help with what to say in this circumstance please?
My mum is 89, has AD and is in her own home with 3 carers a day. She has started saying intermittently that she wants to go home and this isn't her home. We've tried taking her out, hoping she'll recognise it when she gets back, but it rarely works.
Last night's carer had this problem again, but eventually was able to leave her reasonably content. This morning, the carer had trouble opening the front door as she had tried to pull up the carpet - presumably trying to get out (she no longer knows how to open the door).
Has anyone found anything to say that works please? Thank you!
