The Cabal Behind The Teleprompter will need to retrofit the White House for their ancient enfeebled dementia patient. Lots of grab bars and hand-holds everywhere. Ramps in place of steps to accommodate use of a walker or wheelchair.
But most important is routine. Dementia patients need to have the same things happen in the same way every day. Meal times should be consistent. Teleprompter-reading sessions should be scheduled early in the day to avoid, to the extent possible, problems with exhaustion and “sundowning” later in the day.
That “sundowning” thing is unreal. My very elderly relative had to be hospitalized for a few days. She could not understand that she was no longer in her own room. She lashed out at nurses and family for “moving the light switch to the other wall.”
I came in one night and she was out of bed, 99 years old, but leaning against the extremely heavy hydraulic hospital bed with all her might, trying to push the bed “back to the other side of the room where it belongs!” I'm amazed she didn't break several bones doing that. They had to strap her in a wheelchair at 4:30 and keep her near the nurse's station until she had eaten her dinner and gotten her sleep meds.
