Mom in last stage of dementia, she’s still mobile on her own slightly while inside and with assistance outside my parents house. Everything else she shows in the last stage for sure.
In the last 2 weeks her new thing we’ve noticed is she’s scared to death to step off a curb, walk down a step, walk across pine straw etc. with assistance. When riding in a car she squeals because she thinks we’re going to run off the road in a curve or we’re going to hit the on coming traffic. At night it’s even worse. I’ve also noticed she points because she thinks she sees something but nothing is actually there.
Anyone ran into these issue? Anyone know why or just another part of this awful disease that’s unexplainable....

Mother has just begun doing this. She can handle 'slopes' or handicapped ramps, but a true 'step' will just have her in a panic. She knows that one more serious fall, she's in a NH.
For a period of about a week she would go all around the house until she got to the bathroom and would not step into that room. That finally went away.
On more than one occasion she tried to open the car door while I was doing over thirty mph. That only happened about three times and she quit but I worried it would come back.
She was nonverbal,so if she had other concerns it was difficult to tell unless she made her moaning sound.
