Asked January 2013
My mom has dementia and often stares at anyone in the room. Is this common for people with dementia?
She will lock her eyes on someone, no expression on her face, just staring.

Yes, it is very common. It can be a bit unnerving, even when it is your own mother. I don't think they are really watching the person, but just idly looking.
