How do you cope with someone calling you to come back every time you step out of the room?

I’m helping my mom take care of my 87 year old grandma, who has dementia. If we both need to leave the room to do anything my grandma almost immediately starts calling our names over and over until one of us comes in. She’s well taken care of and doesn’t need anything.

I feel like I’m tied to her room and I can’t get anything done. Sometimes she starts as soon as she wakes up at 5:30 or 6:00 am.

I love her and we’ve always been close but she does have a mean streak so sometimes I just need to step away to take a break but she won’t let me 😂.

She’s called me in the room twice since I started writing this post. I assured her I was in the next room but she said she wants me in her room.

any advice?

Thanks!
