My mom has lost the ability to independently complete simple tasks and most activities of daily living but she has no awareness of it. She will say sometimes that she has forgotten some information, such as her birthday, but she seems to have no sense of this being unusual or startling. I'm wondering how many people with dementia actually know that they have dementia or, at least, a problem? Or is it the norm for the person to not know or recognize their problem?
Might be time to take mom to a specialist
Her anger will likely increase as dementia worsens and she may benefit from meds
If she has financial resources please consider assisted living- it is an easier transition earlier than later
