Sundowning symptoms can be very difficult for families to admit that their loved one is actually going through this.

Sometimes they may wander but you notice a big difference from the time they wake up to the time that they go to bed and with that said, most of the time, it’s always easier to have conversations with one that is sundowning earlier in the morning than late in the evening.
