Hat

George wears a hat all the time. He puts a hat on to move around the house, he puts a hat on to go out, he puts a hat on to go outside. Now he puts a hat on (and sleeps with it on) to go to bed!!

Those with Alzheimer's often have behaviours which they repeat over and over for no apparent reason.

Something both Mum and George have in common: Mum went through many packets of tissues, twisting them around in her hands, George brings large pieces of toilet paper which he twists and discards - I find it everywhere. Mum no longer does this but it does seem to relieve anxiety in these people.

I find it best to just let them do these things and go round behind and pick it up. This saves arguments or frustration.
