Anyone who has a grandmother with dementia would understand and have experienced the below episode
And thats only the initial starting stages when she stil recognises her son or grandson......as the conditions worsens over time..the final terminal stages of dementia would be them living or confined to a world of their own not able to remember or even recognise who their closest sons or grandsons is and having difficulty to feed themselves. Family members would have to be understanding and help out in taking care of her daily needs together with a maid or caregiver.
