I live in a block of flats. The lady next door is probably in her 80's, and suffering from what I think is dementia.
This evening she knocked on my door, saying that couldn't remember what flat number she lived at (she lives next door).
I tried to be helpful, asking whether she could call anyone she knew, or where she had been...she was basically not making much sense. Saying that she didn't know if she lived here anymore, and that she thought she was meant to be up town meeting someone.
She also thought she had the keys to the flat, but could not remember where they keys were - after about 15 mins she remembered they were on a chain around her neck.
If she hadn't had found her keys, what would have been the right action? Call the police? Call the management company? I did mention calling the management company for her, but she didn't want that.
I have a feeling this is going to happen again as she's getting worse. It's only me that opens the door to her. Sadly everyone else in our block doesn't seem that neighbourly.
