    After a certain point you just have to go along and redirect the delusion of your demented person instead of trying to convince them of the truth! Telling someone that they have dementia is deeply upsetting. If you ever have to deal with someone who has dementia you have to put on an act that everything is normal and that it’s totally okay to slip up and say something crazy because if you don’t you won’t be able to convince them, you’ll only create a divide between you and them they might start distrusting you and start working against you because they perceive you as dangerous because they are confused. To them you are the one who’s making outrageous statements. They believe that they know themselves and how the world works and there’s that lunatic infront of them who tells them that they are at home even if they clearly don’t recognise where they are, they remember themselves as in their 30’s going to work everyday and you are the madman who’s accusing them of having something called dementia being a retired old person who has to live in a senior home even though they clearly remember what just happened at work.
