Husband has Dementia, unknown origin as of now
Caregivers: Dementia | Last Active: Feb 6, 2023 | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
Dear kind Dementia caregivers,
My dear 65 yo husband, has recently been diagnosed with Dementia with unknown (as of yet) origin. he has stated, in his confusion that he wants to return home, That home, is his childhood home to see parents and siblings. Parents are deceased years ago, siblings are long since moved into their adult family lives. How do I help my husband ? And comfort him?
I’m new to this connection with dear caregivers, but not naïve to devastating realties of dementia. I’m hopeful to hear from you , and to possibly support others. Blessings to you all.

I have watched videos by Teepa Snow who teaches Positive Approach to Care. She has more knowledge and practical experience than anyone I've heard of. Look up teepasnow.com for books, videos and ways to contact her team. You should look for a group near you for support also. I am not the caregiver, my mom is 98 yrs old in assisted living, she wanted her own place. I do call, visit and take care of making sure she has her personal items.
God bless you,
Sue
