Find Care & Housing
I would get a film with your cell phone and visit the doctor. I am thinking that medication may be needed. I know you will be aware, that while medication may help to calm her there is also the unwanted side effects of more frequent falls. I don't know if you have thought at all about how long you will be able to continue as 24/7 caretaker for your dear wife as she passes to stages where really she needs several shifts of caregivers to take care of her. I am so sorry. I would take with your doctor. In some cases a low dose anti depressant helps. But vascular dementias can be often very unpredictable and volatile at time.

Good luck. We wish you the best.
