My mom has taken a turn in her dementia and has been exhibiting a lot of these symptoms/habits. Can anyone relate?

If mom is on Hospice contact your Hospice.
If mom is not on Hospice it might be time to get a Hospice involved. they will provide you with a lot of support and information.
Check out Hospice Nurse Julie she has some great information on You Tube.

If the symptoms of your mother's dementia have changed radically it is time to reach out to her doctor. She may have an electrolyte imbalance or a UTI. She needs to be seen for assessment.

Yes, they do get agitated when they are dying. My Mom was given meds for hers. Its anxiety and its not good for them. If you don't have Hospice for her, I recommend it.

Is she on any meds for her agitation? Dementia robs people of their ability to bring themselves to a place of peace and contentment. When my Mom went on the lowest dose of Lexapro for her depression, anger and paranoia it helped her a lot.
