I apologize for offering totally unsolicited commentary, especially if it's unhelpful, but your grandmother's condition sounds similar to what my grandmother suffered from. We thought she had Alzheimers and Parkinsons, but a postmortem analysis by the folks at UC Davis showed that she had dementia with lewy bodies [0], which shares symptoms with both of those diseases but is treated somewhat differently. I mention it only because the treatment for some of her symptoms ended up making things worse and are contraindicated for DLB patients.
I'm sorry for what your family is going through. It took a profound toll on our family, too.
