The trouble is his memory span is so short, that every day he wakens thinking my Mum and I must have died, and he gets very upset because he just wants to go
home. He has no insight into his dementia
at all - he thinks he is normal, and keeps asking to go home. He gets terribly upset, despite us visiting him every day. By the time we have left the building, he has forgotten we have been there, and he thinks we have forgotten him.
