My 85 year old mother is widowed and lives alone in a single family home. After her last hospitalization, I took her home for several days until she was able to be alone. Since that time, she continually feels like she is at my house. I call her every morning and she will ask if she kept me awake at all during the night. I gently remind her that she is at her home and even tho she "knows" she is, it is like her brain was re-wired at my house and she cannot get past it. She has dementia which we also see getting worse but at this time, she is not in danger living alone. We have cameras in her home and I can check on her throughout the day. She still is capable of making her own meals, doing her own laundry, etc. Has anyone ever experienced something as strange as this? My poor mom feels like she is going crazy. She never envisions being anywhere EXCEPT my house and so it is a very distinct type of disorientation. Doctors don't offer any answers. She always says she just wants to go "home to her own house". Help!!
Best of luck!
