Can Visiting People Outside House Make Dementia Worse?
My father in law has dementia and I have been told that we should keep him in once place at all times. He has visited his former companion bi-weekly for a day or two and then returns home to live with us. Is this or could this be making his dementia worse?

Thanks for choosing healthcare magic
Dementia is never worsen with such activities. These activities would rather help him u remind old memories. When he would go with them or stay with them, that would help him u remind his old skill. there is nothing harm in it, but never let him go alone anywhere or work on dangerous tool.
Thanks
