A free app to help with dementia queries

How do you deal with a parent who is always accusing you of stealing from him/her?
That’s a common question asked by many sons and daughters caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. The accusation scenario could just as easily be replaced with: who won’t eat their food, who refuses to shower, who curses at me or who doesn’t recognize me.
While the situation at hand may differ from day to day and from person to person, the core question remains:
