My mom has dementia is home on Hospice Care and condition is increasing. She has severe SHADOWING which is worsening. Any advice?

It's worsening as the illness is increasing. I thought the Shadowing may decrease as time went on. Have any of you experienced this condition getting worse as the illness progressed?

Ask the Nurse. She should be available 24/7. It may be an anxiety thing and she can be medicated for it.

Sundowning? Or is it really shadowing?

"When a senior is sundowning, they may “shadow” their caregivers or follow them around and closely observe or try to mimic everything they do. "
