Some of them are probably like a politician in a joke in which a woman asks her husband what the politician is talking about, and the husband answers "I don't know; he doesn't say!" Then there is the little boy who asks his mother what it means when the preacher looks at his watch....and the mother tells him "nothing"!

I've encountered people who resemble one or the other, or occasionally both!

When we talk to someone that is not going to respond we usually say it twice. Like to babies or animals. "You're a good dog, yes you're a good dog". Her last charge probably didn't talk and liked the constant chatter. I live alone and sometimes go out to a noisy restaurant just to hear some chatter. However you could give the caretaker a few questions to ask your mother and have her write down the answer. You mother wants to get a word in edgewise.

She may not be a good fit for your mother if she’s a dementia patient. Caregiver needs to tune into patient’s needs & not just gossip all day. It will eventually get on nerves of a dementia patient.
