I Am a Caregiver

My great grandmother has dementia, she often feels the need to stand and then sit over and over again. She also wants us to ‘hurry’ for seemingly no reason. She says she feels fine, her vitals are what they should be and she’s as hydrated as she can be.
The nurses that come to our home don’t have anything to say about it.

Could be Alzheimer's. She sounds confused and frustrated. It's very sad, because I believe that they perceive something is wrong but cannot communicate it. There's also a thing called the Window of Lucidity where they come completely back just for a few moments, then return to that confused state.
