5. Difficulty walking without apparent cause
Even without visible injuries, walking becomes unsteady. Steps are shorter and slower, and the fear of falling increases, even in familiar places.
Beyond the physical aspect, this change can symbolize a gradual disconnection from the material world. Adapting the environment and reducing the pressure to stay active is a form of care and respect.

6. Confusion and disorientation in familiar places
Moments of disorientation can occur even in people who have never had cognitive problems. The person may talk about “going home” referring to places from their childhood or confuse time and space.
This is not always dementia. Often it is an emotional journey toward memories that represent security and belonging. Instead of correcting them, it is better to offer support with gentle questions and attentive listening.
