Also I don’t know what stage she’s at or what her capabilities are so I’m really sorry if I suggest something that is way too basic or for people who are in more advanced stages…
But I heard some people with dementia benefit from a fiddle mat or blanket, it’s this thing with attachments to twiddle and zips or huge buttons. It’s something to just play with that might help self soothe and occupy her a bit.
A really nice soft toy to hold might be comforting too.
It sucks to be in a strange lonely place and confused about why. I’m glad you’re here for her.
Thanks that's a nice idea
