Re: Cognitive impairment
There are some good posts from Rhondalea about managing cognitive impairment, you search for her post by name. I would request a consult with a neurologist to see what options maybe available. It's great for your sister to have you to advocate for her. Good luck to both of you!

We gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, not in daring to come to grips with it. We must do that which we think we cannot do. -Eleanor Roosevelt
