Fixations in early dementia?

Posted by catmac @catmac, Sep 3, 2023

My mom has fixations on some things where she asks about them over and over - house deed, 2022 taxes. I’ve started writing down each time she asks about them. Over and over again. She has shown me the deed but then the next day says she’s never had it. Same with the taxes. She can see they are done but will still think they aren’t. New things can bring along another fixation. Is this behavior normal? Her brain is stuck in a loop on these things and it’s so difficult to see.

I am so appreciative of their help!! They were wonderful. Its hard for me to ask for help. I know I will have to down the road and am reluctant to involve them more now.
