I recently moved into a senior apt area. My nearesr neighbor at first seemed friendly. She is 85. I have helped her at times anr brought food. A few months ago she started to seem more distant. I thought it might be covid, but otbers things turned up. She didnt like where i parked. Said that space was for another resident but tenant been gone a year. We have a issue with snakes here so i called lanlord for help she was upset. One time she seemed to be talking to them in a childlike way. I had company one day and she yelled at me and now wants nothing to do with me. She seems to look at me like a enemy or stranger. She also mentioned one time someone took her flatware. She has little family. Its upsetting to.me. Now i just say hi and move on. Now uncomfortable here. She seems very angry. My friends think dementia involvolved. Any thoughts?

There is a lot of info online about dementia.... My mom had Alzheimer's ... She probably doesn't remember when she behaves like this..... It's nice that you're so concerned..... I know that it's hard to bear at times for sure..... Big hug....xo
I'm hoping things have worked out since I'm so late to this post.
Take care
