[QUOTE="witzend, post: 451478, member: 99"] We've had a lot of experience with Alzheimer's and Senile Dementia in my family, and I can tell you that when they get on a jag about something, all you can do is agree with them. How I would handle your Aunt asking if she can go make sure that things are ok is to tell her "Yes. It's all set for next month." I'd even give her vague imaginary details if pushed, "The 18th" but not which "18th". They do not understand or deal well with "no". Give her "yes, and by the way did I tell you that Lulubelle is a doctor now? You remember Lulubelle! She was Imogene's sister's cousin who you went to camp with." She'll be so busy figuring out Lulubelle, she won't have a word about her question because [I]you said yes.[/I] You validated her concerns, and that's all she needs. [/QUOTE]
