Dad confused in his apartment - looking for stairs that don't exist

kjcampbell

I'm looking for suggestions / tips about how to address my dad's search for stairs to go to his other apartment. He is 92, in a wheelchair - probably Stage 5 Alzheimers. He lives in a Memory Care facility in a studio apartment. He keeps looking for the stairs from the basement or to the 2nd floor to get to his "other" apartment or bedroom. I know logic & correcting him won't work, but there's nowhere I can take him up any stairs - everything is on a single level. If I can't redirect his attention elsewhere, how can I answer him?
