Q
My Mom has been dx with mild dementia, however she refuses to be alone. She is often crying and she buys small stuffed animals when she goes out and has hundres of them. I live with her and every time I go to use something in the kitchen she has moved it. I can't find anything.....HELP!
A
I don't know about the kitchen but we have taken to putting strings on our eye glasses and tying them in various places around the house where they are needed. That way they don't get walked off with. I have the kitchen issue too.
