Re: Re: Stages of LBD?

[Guest guest]

Shomy,

This sounds like some lame excuses they gave you. In the nh we often saw people

with NO clothes on! And they have to have expected something like taking teeth

out for whatever reason. That is not unusual for people with dementia.

But what they need to be reminded of is that he takes a hit every time they move

him. Or at least most of our LOs do. Moving is not what you do because they

can navigate better in familiar places and they have to try and figure it out

all over again when they are moved and everything is new again.

Hope you get some good answers.

Hugs,

Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in

a nh.

She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.
