Parent with dementia: How to cope

[TJo]

Anyone have any tips or thoughts? My mother was recently diagnosed, even though we've suspected something has been off. She's spiraled since my dad died 8 years ago.

I am sorry to hear that.
Please get her paperwork in order - will, power of attorney, living will, .... . Get a detailed listing of assets and liabilities.
Can you share her current situation as in living alone, driving, social live.

TJo, maybe a few more details, please- who is her care giver, where she lives, her abilities, etc.
