Can I ask how old your Mom is? Early would be 50’s, 60’s, maybe early 70’s. You mentioned an oncologist. Is she going through cancer treatment? Chemo can severely impact memory and how a person communicates at times. Chemo brain is the term. Also, has she been checked for a Urinary Tract Infection? That’s the first thing to look at when an older person’s behavior changes. Something may be off with her metabolic chemistry.
My sister and I navigated several years of dementia progress with my mom. She moved from Assisted Living to Memory Care eventually. Luckily she had enough assets to pay for that. It's important to get some expert help. My Mom's doctor was helpful and then the caregivers at her facility did a great job. Her personality changed quite a bit and she became very paranoid and delusional. She also had periods where she was dealing with sundowners. It's a tough road.
All the best as you navigate this journey.
