Disorientation is very common in Alzheimer’s disease, but tends to occur later in the disease.
The disorientation includes not being able to remember their way home, even after they were the one who drove the car to their destination. If this happens, it may cause a lot a fear and can lead to some very uncomfortable situations.
Late-stage Alzheimer’s patients will have difficulty knowing where they are, what day of the week, or even what year they are in.
