sory to hear about your mother
since she has dementia you need to take more care ,she needs a caretaker the whole day long
her increased frequency of falls are signs of aging,need to make your home and surrounding easy for her to walk I.e. avoiding furniture and stuff on her way,a walking aid can help her in this
also balance and gait training by a physio can help her .
again due to ageing factor you need to keep a track on her blood pressure and heart rate(doing regular full body checkups)
hope you find this helpful
