What I want to know is why is she confused one day, then seemingly fine the next? I'm conflicted as to where she should be. She wants to be alone; so is still living in her home. My sis and I stay some days and/or nights; but not every day. She won't get home health care; we have chosen a memory care but she hasn't seen it, just the brochure. Kind of interested.
I plan to spend a lot of time on this wonderful forum!! Thanks again, Y'all!!
alz.org is a very good source of information about the various types of dementia and how they progress.
How much interest has your mother taken so far in her diagnosis? Does she accept it, broadly speaking?
If she didn't react badly to the brochure and she isn't in active denial about the disease, perhaps you could back up your proposal that she go and look at the facility with (gently presented) information about getting ahead of the curve, and by pointing out that it is much easier to adjust to a new home if you walk into it as a mainly self-sufficient person. Have you been to visit the memory care facility yourself?
