My Nana was diagnosed with/ has been living with vascular dementia for the past 5 years. She has had visual issues with mirrors which has ramped up in the past couple months - we have covered all mirrored surfaces, and now working on covering the reflective surfaces that seem to be troubling her. Recently though in the past few weeks - she seems to be having auditory delusions, of people calling her name and conversations happening around her or with the “people” in the reflective surfaces. I’m just wondering if these issues seeming to compound recently are signs that her disease is progressing more rapidly than before.
If this is concerning for your Nana , she can be treated.
This was answered on your other post.
”Auditory hallucinations are more common in psychiatric disorders.” TChamp.

It is possible that your nana has multiple issues, one being vascular dementia but others not related to the vascular dementia. She needs to see a psychiatrist.
Do the voices bother her? Sometimes for those who have auditory hallucinations, the voices are welcomed. If they don’t bother her, perhaps the best course is to not treat them. The treatment will also have side effects. See that she gets the appropriate medical attention to go over ALL her symptoms to work out what will make her more comfortable.
