This is called Sundowning. Very common dementia behavior. My elderly Aunt did it every afternoon, even though she was sitting in her home that she lived in since 1975. The home they want to go to is their childhood home. It never mattered that we had signs and her address everywhere in the house.
It helped to distract her with activities and movies. Sometimes, nothing would distract her. So sorry you're going through this.
