Sundowning is a term used to describe the increase in confusion, anxiety, or agitation that some people with Alzheimer’s experience later in the day. It can look different for everyone. Some might pace or wander, while others become more irritable or withdrawn. It often happens during transitions—like when lights change, staff shifts end, or dinner is over. But thankfully, assisted living facilities in Conroe that focus on memory care are set up to ease these symptoms.
