Disorientation in space (spatial disorientation)

It can be quite common for a person with dementia to feel lost even in very familiar surroundings. Following his wife around also indicates that he is probably feeling insecure, both because he is not sure where he is, and also because his poor short-term memory does not enable him to remember where his wife is unless he has her in his sight.

Disorientation in time

People with dementia frequently experience a different reality, such as believing they are in a different time and place. This is, in part, due to memory problems, but it may also indicate the person's needs - for example, 30 years ago this woman may have been leading an active, fulfilling life, and her belief that she is back in that time tells us that she needs more activity and fulfilment in her present-day life.
