Alzheimer's Symptoms and Difficult Behaviors

In addition to forgetting recent events and mixing up and forgetting names, my friend jumps up from the dinner table while I an talking to kill a fly, straighten out a man's tie, pull up someone's left sock, or tell someone her blouse label is sticking up. She does this with the intensity of someone stamping out a cigarette smoldering on the floor.

No it m ant to be Extensive SCAN, would or could this see Tinnitus as well? CJ

What you think of Having exceptional SCAN, using dye or something, I go soon, th y think I past treatment stage. CJ

This is the most comprehensive article, or should we say "medical & social familial study", on this terrible problem... from early stages of Alzheimer's or Dementia to the final critical stages -- all of which I experienced personally with my grandfather who passed at 98, and held up OK until the last year, when he couldn't even recognize me any more, which was the most painful thing, and he had to be tied down in his chair because he couldn't control his physical movements. Terrible thing to go through. Dementia & Alzheimer's cause so many terrible problems amidst family groups -- and not just medical costs and difficult personal attention challenges causing stress among family members. The one issue not delved into in detail here -- I found all about the hard way... that mental problems and blocks arising from Dementia or Alzheimer's also cause heirs to go missing from Wills -- in my case, my grandfather forgot to add two heirs into the will, and I'm sure it was due to Dementia. And unclaimed inheritance assets that were abandoned or went missing due to severe memory lapses. From what I have researched, these problems from Dementia or Alzheimer's usually seem to call for a serious heir locator service or heir finder group to begin locating missing heirs or locating beneficiaries to an unclaimed estate. I can clearly see that forgotten items such as leaving heirs out of a Will accidentally... or forgetting lucrative assets and financial funds, or losing and forgetting paperwork to life insurance policies and savings bonds -- often lead back to Dementia or Alzheimer's and frequently call for probate & estate research professionals that know a great deal about heir search solutions and forensic genealogy... The really good probate research firms can identify and locate missing heirs and beneficiaries to unclaimed estates or unclaimed inheritance assets... An unclaimed inheritance is not easily identified, and I’d say requires top level probate research investigation to find missing heirs and to prove "kinship determination" not to mention inheritance recovery -- locating missing inheritance assets that have been forgotten by folks with Dementia problems... Pro groups like the American Research Bureau, or www.arb.com, or maybe www.heirfinder.com, staff lots of forensic genealogists, probate researchers and document specialists that can help to identify and locate missing heirs or find unknown heirs who are unaware of their inheritance -- a problem with the estate my grandfather left. And a good heir finder service or heir locator service can prevent fraudulent inheritance claims by connecting legitimate heirs with their unclaimed inheritance assets. I’ve decided that without a top notch heir locator or heir finder or inheritance recovery outfit, we can forget about finding missing heirs or locating unclaimed inheritance assets, implementing successful inheritance recovery. We just can’t do it ourselves.

With respect to your article on hallucinations, my wife was having them and we were told by doctors that they can be associated with a UTI. Treatment for UTI happened and no more hallucinations.. Mr. Bill

Thats astonishing...

Thats interesting

Hi Paula Spencer Scott, You have published a nice content. Alzheimer's creates problems with memory or other mental functioning system. You have fairly described its symptoms here.

My mom was diagnosed with Dementia 9 years ago and has the majority of the Alzheimer's severe stages symptoms. Plus she has stopped eating. I'm told (she in a nursing home) she will eat breakfast occasionally but no lunch or dinner. Is still drinking water and grape juice but only about 12-18 oz daily. My question is how long will her body sustain her? I visit 3 or 4 times a week but she doesn't know me; hasn't for 10 or more months. She knows she has a daughter names Margie but I'm not it. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to watch her deteriorate.

Where are recent conversations?

We have been told my husband could have LBD or Alzheimer's. When I read symptoms he has some from every stage. He has never been a big talker but now he seldom says anything. He has seemed very agitated.. He is tearing paper into very small pieces and will scatter them around then try to sweep them up with his foot. I have tried to get him interested in doing something else but it does not hold his attention long.

My husband strokes himself on the leg while driving and watching TV.

Hafa Adai Ms. Scott. Your piece is interesting as well as informative. I would love to say I enjoyed it but I cannot. It sadly showed me the things in my wife of lots of years I did not want to see. She has passed from stage to stage just as your article says. A majority of folks we know tell me she should be in some kind of care facility. It is something I just cannot bring myself to do. That wonderful gal married a drunken-bum more than 40 years ago. She gave up her friends, family, and even her country to be with me. It is said one person cannot change another, in our case that was true. Instead she made me want to change, and I did, for the better. We both worked long and hard to enjoy getting old together. She no longer recognizes our sons, and the jury is still out on if she knows me. She does recognize me. Please continue your work to educate folks on this terrible disease. Thank you for the article. Stumper- Pilot in Almost-Paradise.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR ARTICLES! THEY ARE SO HELPFUL. I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN MY CORNER!!!

Truly helpful,thank you. Some solutions I figured out, others were new to me. Patience from the carer is a hard lesson to learn!

Oh so wish I had help with these things before now. You seem honest, well-studied, straight-forward and most of all, caring. I read for the comfort of knowing that I was right about my parents, but my siblings used it to their advantage...and my exclusion. The heartache will be with me for the rest of my life.

My mother has alzheimer and she's constantly laughing, uncontrollably and inappropriately. We lived and grew up till I was 11 in the same street as Tom Jones, my mother knew him all his young days, now she has a total fixation about him (not in a good way) but her conversation with us and her carers is constantly about him, along with David Cameron and Simon Cowell, but mostly Tom. Has anyone else noticed these symptoms. The laughing is proper belly laugh, so bad she's gasping for breath, but she laughs at tragedy too. Her swallowing is bad, she's totally incontinent and she struggles to walk. I would appreciate if anyone knew from this they could tell me what stage she's at.

Under thinking skills, I would add "Short Attention Span". She may be looking at something or pointing to something, then all of a sudden TV will get her attention or someone walking by will distract her.

Helps me to understand which behaviors are due to alzheimers and which might be due to something else. Also helps to be aware of other symptoms I might see.

This is a great article. I have early onset Alzheimer and this article is very helpful to my family and me. Thank you.

It confirms my fears of becoming like my mother, I answered yes to almost all the symtoms mentioned. My difficulty is that my loved ones do not admit my problems.

This is by far the best article on the different stages of behavior of a person with Alzheimer's. My sister experienced all of these things as her disease progressed. Thank you so much for submitting this for everyone to read and understand.

General info. It helped me to understand why and reminded me how to deal with behaviors.

Hello Everyone, Thank you for your patience. The technical issue is fixed.

I'm the director of a senior assistance agency called HELPMATE. It's useful to refresh my knowledge of Alzheimer's symptoms from time to time to stay at the top of my game to be of maximum assistance to my clientele. Robert C. Visconti

Hello, Thank you for letting us know of the error you are experiencing. We are doing our best to have this issue resolved in a timely manner. We will keep you updated. Thanks.

Hi Lostinthisfamily - I can read the pain in your posting so well. Here is what I wish I could hug you and say. Your siblings, their children, and your Mother are who they are, and are unlikely to change at this point in their lives. With that in mind, you have a choice - accept how they are and make sure that you life your life as an example to the world of the loving daughter that you are. The other choice is what you are doing now - ripping yourself apart trying to receive approval/acknowledgement from people that just don't care. Easy - absolutely not! Will you fall back and rip yourself apart - absolutely. Is it important that you remain a whole, caring person that gives to her Mother unselfishly - absolutely! Do what is right for you (caring, doing the small un-noticed things), and forget the rest. If your niece rubs the same lotion on your Mom - great! It's benefitting Mom. Credit is not as important as doing what is right and controlling what you can (in your case - caring for Mom when you can, and forgetting about who says what the 'others' do). Ripping yourself apart affects only you - they just don't notice or care. We, your friends at Caring.com, do care about you, and want you to know that we love and care for you and hurt right along with you, but know that you are important and a loving daughter/sister/aunt.

Thank you CA Claire for your kind words. I guess, in all honesty, my situation is just a magnification of the same scenario I've lived with all my life...the difference now is that I have trouble accepting it so blatantly in my face. I've accepted the fact that Mom & sis are so much alike, share interests, beliefs, and much love....a very nice bond between them. When younger, I was made to feel like my differences were funny and sometimes odd or not normal because I wasn't like them. I tried to be more like them for yrs because of it & became frustrated with myself at most attempts... Wondered why I couldn't be better at sewing, interested in reading, more of a homebody.....I failed & had trouble knowing & liking myself. I was never what you'd call jealous...just confused with myself. I accepted their relationship but still never became close to my Mom because she never saw me for me or loved me for my differences. As a result, I think I was a better Mom to my own kids in that I love them each for who they are unconditionally so that's the positive here. I can accept this situation more readily by dissociating myself as I have for years. I'm just there and that's it....the way it's always been. I haven't loved Mom for who she is either so the feeling is mutual I guess. What else would I do if I can't be someone I'm not? I do want to help but I'm not putting myself out there to be ridiculed over & over again each time. Yes, I will regret not being able to make her smile but its fruitless...a catch 22. She's happy just the way it is and my sister is who she wants so nothing has changed and at this point in life how can it :-) I accept but it hurts now for some reason. Why so much now? I've learned to love & accept myself finally despite their own beliefs and guess what...I'm the odd man out so why bother? They would both deny this favoritism vehemently and say my perspective is skewed. Believe me, I've soul searched and beaten myself up long enough trying to view it as my own fault, my own misinterpretation and it always comes down to being what it is. It's easy to say everything is just fine when your on the other side of it. My Dad was the impartial person throughout our lives & he passed away a yr ago 9-29...my sister said before he passed "It would be best if he goes first" and after he did, she said " she was so relieved that he went first"...I didn't understand that comment and still don't except that she did tell me if Mom dies first I can take care of him. I would have gladly done so and I do know the sacrifices it requires but I loved and respected that man. Never realized how our family dynamics are so messed up until now. I'd like to make it better but I refuse to be dictated to about what I can & can't do, unappreciated unless its what they want " like dog sitting Moms dog while she was in the hospital".....but do not offer any nursing knowledge cause its not wanted. I sat with Mom, spent a few overnights & been there on my days off work...big deal! I bought some really good healing lotion and rubbed her legs & feet. My sisters daughter did the same and guess who my Mom praised for it....yep, something that simple& I'm pretty sure she hasn't lost her memory to that degree. I see only heartache for me if I continue trying and it's undeserving. What am I guilty of....not being like them? I don't need to become bitter and resentful & it seems I on my way down that road....NO THANKS. So I guess I'll choose what could possibly be regret for not trying harder and beating my head against that wall thinking it could change. My biggest fault is determination and persistence but sometimes you really do need to give it up. Then you'll be accused of not being there. I can't win unless I become submissive and that will never happen. The lotion massage was just minor but oh so familiar. Oh, I've always done her hair and she loves that but I guarantee someone will take that away from me as well. Don't want sympathy here at all.... I want what I've always wanted understanding...even if its just a try would be awesome. I'm ADD & they have no clue what that is nor do they care. Again, an attempt to understand what that means in my life would be great. It makes me different, yes but it also makes me very unique. Tired of trying to be loved for who the hell I am which, to me, is not asking much :-) Sorry Claire....big time venting and I see you have some very important issues of your own you're coping with. Hope you are appreciated. God bless and thank you so very much for listening. Congrats on your interview. I'm going to go read it now. I work at a skilled nursing facility and care for 27-30 residents with varied diagnoses. Love them all and my only complaint is that I wish I could spend more one-on-one time cause they are all people with a lifetime of stories, memories and so much I still don't know about them.

Hi Lostinthisfamily! How well I know your type of situation. What you are noticing with your Mom and Sister has happened to me most of my adult life. Would you be able to live with yourself if you stopped helping your Mom just because in her non-intact logic, she is giving credit for your help to your Sister? Your Mom deserves the best of care because she is Mom to both of you. In your heart, you know that what you are doing for your Mom has value. When we all are at the end of our journey - appropriate credit will be given to you for your service to Mom, and your Sister will need to answer for her own behavior. Continue to help your Mom and the Blessings will come to you in ways you may not currently recognize. Your Sister knows her own shortcomings, but is not ready to face them yet - as all of us know deep down inside our own flaws.

My mother recently fell and fractured her femur which is requiring in home care. Prior to this and now she has begun to tell me things that I've done for her are actually done for her by my sister. Her memory seems to be intact for the most part aside from repeated stories she tells from the past. It almost seems like she is deliberately slighting me & may be because I work and my sister is retired so she has been there on a much more consistent basis. She's been completely ungrateful to me and this hurts but I don't tell her. It does make me want to stay away and let my sister take over which is possibly what they both prefer since my sister has taken on a possessive controlling role. I don't like being hurt by both of them so I feel like staying away. I'm a nurse & have a lot to offer but it seems my sister has made it clear that she is in charge. Down the road, if Mom declines and requires total care, then what? I'm then needed when she may not even know who she is!!!! Suggestions please

Here is some info. Please note I am passionate about this because I have seen it do wonders for others and me when it comes to epilepsy. I want to make it clear, I'm not selling anything, and am not posting links to sites that sell anything. Have you seen the CNN special "Weed"? It talks about Cannabidiol (CBD), a chemical in pot that doesn't get you high, but has many medicinal properties. It is showing great potential for treating Alzheimer's Here is part of one abstract: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15030397 "Our results indicate that cannabidiol exerts a combination of neuroprotective, anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects against beta-amyloid peptide toxicity, and that inhibition of caspase 3 appearance from its inactive precursor, pro-caspase 3, by cannabidiol is involved in the signalling pathway for this neuroprotection."

thank you this information was very helpful to my boss-friend he has an aunt that we take care of and she was in the mild stages of alzheimers a year ago when i started to work for them and 3wks ago, DRAMATIC decline to the stare,barely walking,bathroom cant find it ,so this site was very helful for my boss to read also for my-self i have been taking care of alzheimer patients for 15+yrs and i never seen the dramatic decline as i did with her .so thank you again .

what are some helpful things to improve memory for a person who has low vision? he can watch tv but reads only with magnifier.--?

I rarely get out of my house or yard. I love my cloths and don't stink. I love the stock market... my 2 accts. total just under $1,000,000.00. Haven't been to my neurologist in over 6 mo... It was over 2 years ago I was told I had Early Alzheimer's ....maybe longer.... just don't need to keep track. It's THAT bad!! Lastly, I truly love LIFE!

giving overall pictures of what to expect in the future

My aunt has decided not to take showers or change her clothes. We have tried taking them from her to wash her blouse and she grabbed hold of it and refused us to get access to it. She wore that blouse and pants for one week while on vacation then the week after vacation and she is still wearing it. It is now going to be three weeks in a couple of days. We really don't know what to do. It upsets her so.

A symptom not discussed is gluttony. My brother-in law has frontal lobe dementia, and will eat anything and everything. He wants mass quantities of food all at once (if he was allowed), - he has no self control anymore. There is no connection between brain and stomach - he thinks he is hungry all the time (when I know he just ate), does not remember when or what he ate. Cannot be trusted alone in kitchen. Very very frustrating.

i need to send this to my Family...they think I am just being a B......

Very informative!

The article has humbled me because now I know that we know very little about the behaviour of others.Instead of exploding at someone's action that we dislike we should try to find the cause or leave him/her alone.......for the time-being of course

Hi bens - sounds like a very difficult time for you and your mom. It's possible that your mom is at the end stage. Have you been referred by your Dr. to hospice as yet? Sounds like you need to be. Your mother may have forgotten how to swallow which is at the very end of AD. May be time to have a different Dr. evaluate your mom.

Any suggestions for caregiver stress ?

Great classification that will help me know when mild transitions to moderate

this is about sudden decline:on the 3rd of august, my 90 year-old, dementia affected bedridden [for six and half years] mother had a violent fit of coughing while having mashed food supper. that afternoon her lunch had to be abandoned too for the same reason, but at night it was so bad that i had to call our family physician. she was struggling to breathe. her breath was noisy and rasping and she gasped, her eyes turned up in their sockets and she became totally unresponsive. but the doc said her pulse was strong and recommended not to give her anything by mouth but to wet her lips with water frequently. as she had severe chest congestion so we tried antibiotic syrup the following morning. she could not swallow it and and the medicine just " spilled" out of her mouth half an hour later when we turned her on her side. this went on for three days and we abandoned the antibiotic. and then i got this crazy idea [i thought it was crazy at that time] and gave her a little honey on her tongue.from the back of a spoon. that went in. i started giving water using same technique. by the end of he week she could swallow half spoon of honey per gulp. gradually i have raised her honey "dosage" to EIGHT teaspoons a day. two tsp for breakfast, two for lunch and four for supper. it stands at that now three months later. with her luch i have successfully added 40 cc of freshly fermented curd and at supper i have added 40 cc of warm milk. i have succeeded giving her seat sugary tea or coffee in the morning about 80 to 100 cc. water about 50 to 70 cc per day. she is doing fine; she even looks ot me when is speak to her. but her vocabulary which was restricted to a yes or no has vanished completely. also she has developed a bedsore that isn't responding to any medicine. actually the sore had started around june this year. our family physician is surprised she has pulled on so long on this meagre diet but an ayurveda doc ( called a vaidya) who saw her was not surprised and in fact suggested i reduce the honey by a teaspoon at least considering she weighs [guesswork] about 75-80 pounds. now i am left to tackle persistent edema in her legs/feet and face and the bedsore. i can tell if she is pain; that worries me no end. the vaidya said she still has trouble breathing and to add. a wee drop of ginger juice to the honey. that did not work as her eyes stared watering on account of the pungency of ginger. i don't know if i am doing right. any comments/advice?

What a blessing this group is! I will pray for each of you and your care receivers. My Mom was diagnosed in 1989 and died in 1990 from a heart attack or stroke (it didn't matter as I was so happy she wasn't suffering.

When my mom started having trouble maintaining our regular phone conversations, i converted to skyping (talking via video calls). Skype is free. You need to establish accounts for the two parties who want to use skype video, and someone has to be able to "answer" (click on the right icon) when there is an incoming call. I make "appointments" for my skype calls, so my dad is there to answer the calls ... and now i get to talk to both of my parents.

The delineation of the stages, though I see a blending of symptoms across mild and moderate in my mother.

my in-laws live in florida and my husband(their son) and I live in CA. We visit twice a year and last week was our visit. We were quite alarmed by the diminishing capacity of cognitive ability. I noticed food hoarding and environment that is not considered safe. We are frustrated and at a loss as to how to deal with them. We visited a retirement center as a transition possibility. I believe there maybe early stages of alzheimer's or dementia. We returned home drained and completely upset at their situation. They are procrastinators and it feels like they are completely ambivalent about their situation or perhaps they don't even realize how unsafe their environment is. Their diet consist of soda, cookies and foods loaded with preservatives. They just started "meals on wheels" so that was positive. Bottom Line is we are at a loss as to how to assist them in making decisions that will improve their daily lifes and prepare them for assisted living possibilities.

You mention many symptoms, but you do not suggest any way to help[ the individual!

Fireman's Wife - this is the blog you were thinking of, I believe. http://www.caring.com/questions/memory-flashbacks-tias. Best wishes.

What is the name/info about the "small seizures" that were discussed in an earlier caring email? I mistakenly deleted that email. The seizures were very short, seemed to occur frequently, i.e., while driving to a well known place, but momentarily forgetting where you are and/or how to get to the place; "spacing out" but not remembering what you were thinking or going to do, etc. The article said that a neurologist might be helpful, but that's all I remember about the article. I want to research these "mini seizures" and find out more about them before making any med. appointments. Thank you all for your support.

informative article

He comprobado la mayoria de estos sintomas en mi querida esposa quien desde hace tres años ha sido diagnosticada con alhzeimer. Este articulo y los demas son muy valiosos y contribuyen a comprender y asistir cada dia con mayor dedicacion y pleno conocimiento del problema. Hay algunos medicamentos naturlales como el cilantro y la Maca que ayudan a recuperar parte de la capacidad mental. [Community manager note for non-Spanish speaking users of the website: Google Translate translates this comment as, "I have checked most of these symptoms to my dear wife who for three years has been diagnosed with alhzeimer. This article and others are very valuable and help to understand and assist each day with greater dedication and full knowledge of the problem. There are some medications naturlales as cilantro and Maca to help recover some mental capacity."]

This was a very interesting and informative article. I know many people who suffer from this disease. It's so frightening and sad when the memory seems to disappear with such suddenness. My brother-in-law seemed perfectly normal, and wham! in a matter of a few months, he didn't know the names of his wife or children. Now his medications aren't doing what they are supposed to do, and her has lost his appetite. He doesn't eat much anymore. His wife wrote me yesterday and said, "Andy is waiting for the Lord to take him home." It's verry hard on the wife and the family members because there's not much we can do for him except pray. I think prayer is very good for all people who are ill. It might not prevent the approach of death, but without faith and prayer, we'd be very useless and hopeless.

How do you go about becoming caretaker for husband or getting a caretaker is this paid for SSI or disability we are in our 50's he is moderate at this point?

Never mind, I forgot what I was going to say!

One of the last tastes to go is the sweet. I know this sounds gross, but use Chocolate Syrup like gravy on his food. It might work.

What can I do to get my husband to eat. I try to spoon feed him and he says no. He has already lost a lot of weight (which I think I have found) Nothing taste s good to him.

Please discuss medicines for dementia.

Hi there I just saw this site for the first time today, I can relate to Kathleen J. , my husband does the same all the time, what I don't understand I see as a difference is that I feel he is asking for attention. Example: I will leave for the afternoon come home and hear from all the neighbors how he was out doing one thing or another but when I enter hes sitting claiming that he is incapable of doing a thing! We have conversations and 5 mins later he will either say we never spoke or completely give me a different version, it is a though he hears what he wants, I really don't get it, his mom is in a nursing home now for almost 10 yrs and she also in completely relies on her caregiver, she has no memory of her children, cant speak, nothing... is this what I have to look forward to? He has been tested but he is very smart and when he puts his mind to it he can accomplish things, his therapist does not feel dementia is his problem but he shows all of the symptoms you mention in moderate stage.

Spouse seems to be drifting into severe stage, but mostly in late moderate. Before I left today I suggested he could use pushbroom to sweep leaves off our patio. I left the timer set for l hour to remind him to do this. When I returned 2 hrs. later and job wasn't done. I ask him if the timer had gone off and he said yes. When I asked him what the timer was for, he said to remind him to sweep patio. When I asked why he hadn't done it, he was agitated and said he'd get to it. It is 8:00 p.m. and he is still sitting on the sofa. He seems very angry if I challenge him or suggest he do some task. I've done a lot of crying this week. Maybe its reality dawning on me.

My husband has taken a step worse an it is reassuring just to read, to confirm what I already know in my heart. I feel so isolated and alone in this journey. Reading the real steps helps me. Thanks

all of it was very helpful

Hello JoAnn1949, Thank you very much for your question. If you'd like you can post your question in our Ask & Answer section, here: ( http://www.caring.com/ask ). I hope that helps, take care -- Emily | Community Manager

I have 70 carers who are coached in the methods we have found extremely successful with around 100 folk experiencing dementia, It is very frustrating to read Paula Spencer Scott's tome! Please Paula can I send you a gift of our extremely simple workbooks? It would be a real pleasure and perhaps open another route which is not mountain climbing,but a simple highly satisfying pathway to well-being for all.

Learning what symptoms occur from mild to severe Alzheimer's.

Is there a self-test that can be taken? I took care of me Mom until she died due to ALZ. It was a living nightmare. The ALZ foundation here in Gainesville, FL was absolutely NO help to me at the time. Mom 'made history' in her family-being the only one with it. I'm taking the best care of myself, AND praying that I don't get ALZ. I'm terrified of what my children may do to me if I was diagnosed with ALZ.

Has given me a better understanding of the different stages and what takes place during these stages. Many thanks

Thank you for breaking down the symptoms of each stage clearly. It helps a lot. Would be going nuts without this site and it's information and supportive bloggers!

My mother has Dementia. She is now fulltime in a nursing home, totally incapable of anything. She sits in a chair all day l ong and stairs at the TV. She can't walk, talk, feed herself, nor use the bathroom. She is cathed. She is hand fed pureed food, and can't move at all. She can't even lift an arm or leg. Where they plop her in a chair, she stays till I get there. Its like she almost looks through me. Does anyone seriously know if a alzheimer/dementia patient can tell what is going on around them, or are they totally off in their own world not knowing anything nor anyone around them? I hope the latter, because my mom would not want to live like this and it's killing her family knowing she is in a nursing home like this. HELP!!!

I work in a care home in Scotland ,and have just recently found this site. The residents I work with have many differing types of Dementia, I will have been in my job for four years in November and have found the information on this site a fantastic help in making me more aware of how to interact with my residents thank you so much.

Hello meatloaf, Thanks for your comment. If you'd like, you can post a question in our Ask & Answer section about dizziness and dementia: ( http://www.caring.com/ask). I hope that helps! Take care -- Emily | Community Manager

please discuss relationship of dizziness with dementia?
