Some of the pills work some of the time. Sundowning can be extremely difficult to deal with. The facilities here in the Villages also have problems from what I have heard from various workers. A lot of our Right at Home workers have experience with various Villages' area Memory Care places.

If you are dealing with Alzheimer's patients you often are also encountering sundowning.

There are support groups locally who can help with people coping with caring for Alzheimer's family members. I have not used them but others have mentioned them. Think I saw them in referenced in some of the Villages' meetings.
