      I've been going through this exact same thing over the last 3-4 yrs. My mom has dementia. It's hard to remember how many yrs it's been. I am her only child. We have "lost her" about 200 times or more in others beds or in their clothes. Sometimes they've exchanged each other's clothes or shoes. It's so hard. I have
      to keep her amused as well as myself. I am the only person she remembers without a doubt !!! There are ups and downs & sometimes I leave her laughing😂 and sometimes I leave her while trying to not let her see me sobbing😭. It is a horrible disease. It may seem childish to say, but it's the truth, I just want my mom back.

    I went through this with my mother. I had to put her in an Alzheimer’s unit that was smaller and more secure. My mother kept wandering around and going into other residents' room. She also couldn't find her way back to her room when she would leave it. Due to the progression of the disease, she started having incontinence issues because she couldn't find the bathroom. She had to start wearing diapers. It was also easier to manage her incontinence by letting her wear moomoos instead of pants, which can be difficult to pull down and to take off. What a journey! I'm praying for y'all.
