My teenage bride of 50 years has days of complete clarity and days of confusion and hallucinations. She gets it in her mind that we are staying with friends (whom we haven’t seen for decades) and she wants me to take her home. How can I help her feel at home in our home, where we’ve lived over 20 years?
Sometimes when a person with dementia says they want to go home it's often the home they grew up in with with their parents were they felt loved and safe, however this doesn't sound like this is the case with your wife.
I wish you the very best as you travel this very difficult road with your precious wife.
God bless you.

This works (for now) with my friends father.
