As someone who spends most of their days face-to-face with this disease, I want to shout this from the roof tops. If your loved one says, "I am better staying in my own home." consider they may be better in a social setting, experiencing life with others. They have their routines and are comfortable in their own space, and doing new things is actually GOOD for you. They may not realize their hearing loss, but their house mates will. These are all factors that contribute the progression of dementia. I think to myself everyday "How can I avoid the steep decline into a demented state?" I also ask how we can keep our residents from doing the same. It's never too late to do something
