Now that I think of it, she does get out a couple days per week, when she feels up to it, to go play cards with other ladies in the condo. Not much but it's something. My dad just sits on the couch and watches TV or does number puzzles when she's gone. He knows he has dementia and has stated that he's scared of getting lost so he doesn't leave their unit when she's not there. He never has been lost and is capable of taking the garbage downstairs or going to get the mail is is usually back quite quickly but won't do that unless she prompts him.
She says she's feeling more energetic the last 10 days too. They got Covid in September and she was quite worn out since recovering. They're in their 80s so its understandable to take so long to recover.
