My mom is 82 and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She repeats herself constantly. On days with no outside stress she does pretty well but some days she starts in on my dad who has no tolerance for it and it progresses into a ****show. When she has many visitors or she visits her grandkids she goes wonky real fast. Noise and stress definitely sets her off.
For noww, my wife stops in at least twice a week to re-organize her pills which she gets confused about all the time. Dad has mobility issues so the writing is on the wall for outside care or nursing home for them both.
Very difficult to deal with as my siblings live far away and my wife and I still work. Sounds like we all end up dealing with this at some point to some degree. It is not a fun stage of life for all involved.
