Glad my Mom didn't have any paranoid illusions to go along with her dementia. The worst she had is she would dream about people visiting then come in and ask me where they went or occasionally ask me when we were going to go home.

The lady down the street from our old house thought she was being spied on. Said they were watching her thru the TV. One time she called telling us some men were out on the pole listening to her phone calls. About that time her phone went dead. She hadn't paid her bill and they were disconnecting her. She would come visit us after we moved and regail us with her stories. At one point she wrote a manifesto about being watched and wanted us to give to the FBI. "They" had camera's all over her house and were putting it on the internet and making millions off of it. She just wanted some of the money.

Us and a couple of other neighbors kind of watched over her because she had no family. The other two neighbors were too close though and she constantly accused them of spying on her and stealing her stuff. She would yell at one neighbor from the time she drove in the driveway till she went in the house, luckily it was only when she came home from work. Any other time she was nice to her. That's how we discovered the lady had passed, she had stopped yelling at the neighbor for 3 days so the neighbor thought something might be wrong and had the police come check on her.

It's tough to watch a loved one slip away, hope you have the strength and compassion to handle your situation to make her as comfortable as possible.
