Hi.
My mom has alzheimers. And is going through a phase where she can't sit down for more than a few minutes at a time . She just walks up and down all day. She also doesn't stop talking. Sadly she doesn't make sense when she talks and mixes everything up. But she talks non stop.
We were just wondering if this is a normal phase that alzheimers patients go through?
And if there are any tips to help her relax?
Thank you in advance

I have heard cbd oil works good for lifting the mood and calming the mood. I spoke with someone knowledgeable at the cbd store. I am sure you know CBD isn't THC.

My parents are new memory care residents. What types of activities are your loved ones involved in that are enjoyable and stimulating?
As Barb4 said, that's precious. I can just see the two of you marching aroundš Maybe you should get some tambourines.
