She is afraid, I ask her why or what and she says she doesn't want to be alone. I have her living with me presently but she still becomes afraid...some days worst than others. I talk positively to her and assure her everything is OK. It passes and she's OK until it happens again. Her primary care doctor says medically she's healthy but she's in the beginning stages of dementia....forgets current things but the past is repeated over and over. My siblings and I have thought of an ALF for her so that she can focus on activities, other people, events and entertainment....since the COVID 19 her life has been upside down....any suggestions appreciated.
He is living in his own home where he wants to be and has 24 7 Care.
He doesn't want to be alone.
You might try keeping the TV or music on when they are by themselves.
I just always remind my Dad that he will never be left by himself or tell him that a Caregiver will always be there.
I also installed cameras so I can check in any time.
You might use the baby cams where you can here if they are scared and talk to them instead of going in to the room.
Does the fear that she has come at any time or at a particular time of day? This might be like Sundowning. Changing the lighting in the room, switching to LED lights might help. Close blinds or curtains to keep out shadows and to keep the windows from looking more like mirrors to her might help if this is the cause.
This is also the time that you should be thinking about the next steps you and your family will take.
Will she continue to live with you? Will you become full time caregiver? Will you place her in Memory Care?
