i did civil service at a nursing home and had to deal with several patients...

Like Harmon said - the long term memory mostly still works, short term no.

do not argue with her when she says something wrong, try to postpone the issue, she will have forgotten about it later

but people with dementia become also more easily agitated and they will not believe you when you disagree

be patient
