Vascular Dementia - Moaning and Mumbling

KariNell

Mother was diagnosed with early vascular dementia in February 2023 and it has progressed rapidly due to her preexisting medical conditions. She was hospitalized in May due to an issue with medication and since returning home has slept 85-90% of the time and moans continuously. She is on pain management, and home hospice believes this is just a new symptom for her. I researched just enough to know this is "normal" in some dementia patients, but would like to know of other's experiences and how to best deal with this new form of "communication".
