Unfortunately, I don't see this neighbor often as I'd like. I go when the cousin goes. It would be a thousand times more frustrating if I went alone with my poor vision and hearing. That just would not be a pleasant experience for either of us.
And Brewer, you're absolutely right. One thing I notice people do is ask the patient if they remember their name. The cousin threatened to leave and take her balloons if she didn't remember her name. I fail to see the point in this. but a lot of people do it.
The cousin needs to educate him/herself about Alzheimer's disease. It's quite ridiculous to initiate punitive action against someone experiencing memory loss due to a degenerative neurological disease.
