Hoping to get some advice from the experienced posters on here… Thanks in advance…
My elderly ma lives in sheltered accommodation and loves it. One of the highlights is that there is a lunch every day where she meets lots of other residents (she loves meeting new people).
My brother went to see her this week and in the evening took her out to eat at a local restaurant. She had a great time but at the end went round introducing herself to the other tables(!). Apparently she had forgotten that she was not “at home” in the restaurant at her sheltered accommodation.
She is at the stage where she is becoming very forgetful - conversations are repeated and her short term memory is very poor but she has capacity and is able to make decisions and hold sensible conversations, on the whole. Is this latest episode something to worry about, do you think?
