She will walk right out the front door, and wander off. And if you try to stop her, she will get angry and hostile. What am I supposed to do about that?

    Might be time to consider a home that specials in dementia...but if you can babysit..and put an extra layer of security (good fencing) that might give a little more wiggle room for you. Anyhow, best wishes.

    Walk around the block with her and stop at your house. Say "Here we are mom. Let's go inside."
