Day in the Life: Mama Had One Shoe On & Random Stuff Down Her Shirt 😩 | Real Dementia Caregiving

Just another day in the life of a dementia caregiver. 💜

I arrived at the memory care facility to check on Mama, and the first thing I noticed?
She only had one shoe on. 😅

Then came dinner — I sat with her to make sure she actually ate, because with dementia, that doesn’t always happen without encouragement.

I noticed she had a bunch of random objects stuffed down her shirt — and I mean RANDOM!

This is what real caregiving looks like. The messy, funny, unpredictable moments you can’t plan for.

🧠 People living with dementia often hoard, hide, or collect things for reasons we may never understand.
But as caregivers, we learn to roll with it, laugh when we can, and show up with love (and patience).
