Worry
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

Report

My mother is early to mid stage and she refuses to believe it. She's had 4 falls in approx 8 months, 4 broken bones (a new bone with each fall). I've started documenting everything with her lately. She was in a rehab place and they were the ones that diagnosed her with dementia. She gets angry with me all the time when I ask her to please move in with me because I cannot keep traveling 45 min each way to assist herand raise my twin 11yr old children.

I don't know what the "norm" is. My husband definitely knew he had dementia. In his lucid periods he bemoaned it. He claimed he could still do things that he could not do. In the later years he simply accepted that he had limitations.

Early on mom knew but would never admit it saying everybody forgets things - unfortunately this can last for years
