My mom talked with a psychologist at a rehab, but she didn't remember it, so it was of no help. She had extreme forgetfulness. Non Alzheimer's dementia. If it would help, definitely do it. Nothing ever helped my mom, if there was a way to be difficult, she found it.

I appreciate all the responses.

UPDATE on my situation. I explained to the ALF rep that I wished to get my cousin medically evaluated first. I had her consult with a Neurologist who specializes in Alzheimers and Dementia. He did his own test in the office and then ordered blood tests, an MRI and an evaluation by a Neuro psychologoist. The Neuro psych evaluation is 4 hours long. It's designed for people with dementia to determine many things about their thinking and mental ability. After all the documentation is in, the Neurologist will render his prognosis and we will take his advice on what meds and therapy she will need from here on out.

Maybe it helps, but I'm waiting to see what the doctor advises.
