We are going through this now with my mom.
After my father died in November, my sister and brother took turns staying at the house because she could not be left alone. In January my sister took her to live with her and my brother-in-law because the prior arrangement was unsustainable. It was took difficult for my sister because of my moms dementia with the anger and mood swings. Mom is now at an assisted living and memory care facility not far from my sister. They do not have phones in the rooms. She was at my sisters recently so mom was facetiming with us kids. It was great yet a little sad to talk to her. My mom still wants to go back to the home she lived in for 60 years, that was just sold.
I think cruel is the perfect characterization of the disease, the person reliving the same pain over and over again.
My best to all who has to or had to deal with dementia in loved ones.
