Did you mention to her that you didn't think it was appropriate? If not, why? Her reaction might tell you a lot.

Be aware for other signs of - whatever. Sometimes it's not the individual quirks but the aggregate quirks that tell us what we need to know about our LOs.

I would say "right on" for her age. At 97 there is some kind of decline.

What is the problem? Could she not have been curious and intrigued? I may have done the same thing myself. This is no sign of dementia.

At the age of 97 I am venturing to guess that her brain is not all that "right on," unless the Dr. meant for her age.
Her behavior at your community room is not all that strange and you certainly can't say that because of what she did that she has dementia. Sounds like she was just checking things out.
Just enjoy your mom and her many quirks, because at 97, you know her time here on earth is very limited.

Looking for something?
Wanting to see what was available?

Actually sounds like something I would do at my brother's facility. In fact, I did. They had a snack room and I was curious, as to whether they marked containers, as to what was available and etc. Hee hee, but I AM 80.

Anyway, I would start with asking her why she was casing out the supplies.

Did your Mother give a reason for her behaviour?

Maybe she's just naturally snoopy?
