Mom’s lifelong friend asked me the other day whether she should continue visiting with her. They’ve had a longstanding appointment to play cards and catch up on Thursday afternoons. My mom’s friend no

My advice would be to continue the visits, but modify the circumstances. Afternoons can be a tough time of day for people with dementia. A morning visit might find your mom more receptive. The card game may have become too difficult for her and she doesn’t like to say so. Trying a simpler game or a different activity might be more successful.
