@picardonhealth Thank you for this reminder. My 89yo mother lives in our family bungalow fairly independently but my nearby sister visits multiple times per day. We are so lucky to have her. We’ve brought in meal service & Nurse Next Door for 3h/day 5 days/week. It’s helpful but not ideal. Sometimes we lean more toward institutional care but that frightens us too. It’s no fun. And Mom’s quality of life is reduced either way.

There is 1 very treatable form of dementia IF it is caught early via CT scan: normal pressure hydrocephalus.
It typically presents with a triad of symptoms: gait disturbance, confusion/dementia, and loss of bladder control.
If diagnosed rapidly, shunt to drain fluid from the brain ventricles may reverse the symptoms; if caught later, it might keep them from worsening.
INSIST ON A CT.

Client, smiling: I was cooking bacon. I got distracted and turned or stepped back, my feet got tangled and down I went!

Me, gently: Oh? I thought you weren't cooking anymore?

Client, positively beaming: Yes! And that's why!

I have never been rendered so utterly befuddled and speechless by something a patient or client said. I just sat there laughing my head off and she did too.

Gentle reader, we had the gas supply to her stove turned off.

I am closing the thread with my fave all time client story.
A very nice, forgetful woman living in a subsidized senior garden apt. Mon-Fri AM visits from a good in home caregivers. The client isn't supposed to cook anymore because of several incidents of forgetting things on the stove. so the caregiver makes her breakfast and lunch, precooks dinner.
I show up to visit and we sit down to chat. She tells me she fell the other day. I ask her to describe what happened...
