,It,s possible for someone who is in even the early stages of dementia to become more confused once they are out of their routine , and almost panicked, in terms of not doing the normal activities they,ve always done,, said Dr. Katherine Wild, a psychologist at the Layton Aging & Alzheimer,s Disease Center at Oregon Health & Science University.,It,s entirely possible that she,s been living in her van , and has some cash and has lost track of time.She may have lost track of how long it,s been.,Someone who seemingly functions quite well on a daily basis in their routine can really get quite confused if they,re out of their routine , to an extent that you wouldn,t predict,, Wild said.
