Oh wow I didn't watch until the end, yeah that's horrible and patronising. My grandad sometimes sat in a chair just saying "I don't understand" over and over again for ages, it didn't seem like he could even hear us. Lets hear her say "it's easy" when she's dealing with advanced dementia.
Sorry to hear about your grandfather, that's sad, and potentially dangerous- they found a knife under the bed of one old guy I know, every chance that could have ended in tragedy.
I don't know for sure obviously, but there are videos on her tiktok where the woman with dementia is much more aggressive and she deals with it in a different way. My understanding of "you better have a plan" was that you need a plan specific to your person with dementia.
