We found it was helpful to remove some of the visual stimulation from mom's environment. Anything that is reflective or causes shadows. Pulling the curtains helped as well. We also started using techniques from Teepa Snow and Naomi Feil, look on YouTube or Google. It can be a challenging phase. Good luck and remember, this too shall pass. Each phase has its own challenges.
