I’m new to the site. My mom is 82 and has mid stage Alzheimer’s. I’m currently taking care of her with my older sister and looking for ideas to make situations easier for my mom and myself as her caregiver. She is fully capable physically, but mentally is declining. She suffers from anxiety, fears, sundowners and agitation. Her husband of 60 years died 3 years ago.
