Each person with dementia is different. They all have daily paths and patterns that they go down, and the caretaker has to pick the best approach to handle it - the lesser evil. It sounds like the person in the story has a common path of ‘hey, I want to go for a drive’ and that the caretakers have had a difficult,…

Dementia is cruel. Alzheimers is cruel. Something that is a distraction may be better than the fight, especially since it’s cruel not only to the one that has it, but their loved ones, caretakers, and even the random public.

If we ever get this in the US, I’ll eat my own testicles.

You can watch the shit show play out via the internet too.
