My mom has vascular dementia too. I have trouble getting her to leave her room, she lays down in her bed to watch tv, crochet and to do puzzle books, I don’t know why she wont sit up and afraid she will get bed sores. She only showers if told we are going somewhere and if she wants to go then she has to shower. She doesn’t recognise me most of the time and occasionally tells people that my husband is her husband. Yesterday I took her to Hobby Lobby and we have been there numerous times since she has moved in with us and she got in the store and said “ I will follow you since I have never been here before”. It gets harder every day. Good luckMy MIL has was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago with Vascular dementia and I think we’re just experiencing sundown with her. She lives alone so we phone every evening too check if eaten, taken medication and general chat but the last few nights her voice is really flat, no expression, monotone like and she doesn’t want to talk and says speak to you tomorrow. (During any daytime calls she’s fairly normal. ) Is this a trait of sundowning ? Thank you in advance for any thoughts and advice 💖
