I would consult her doctor to find out such things.

The party would be for you not her she could be terrified whats the point ?
I think it would be frightening and overwhelming for her.
I think it’s wonderful that you’re thinking about her.
Maybe, look for other ways to show you care.
Yes, it is a good idea to have a gathering of relatives, but if you are concerned that your grandmother will become nervous, then you will have to supervise your grandmother and be prepared to take her to a quiet place.
Oh tough one. If it’s going to upset her I’d leave it alone. The party will probably make you feel better than it will her. At this point it’s her quality of life that matters and there’s no reason to risk upsetting her. Hope that helps.
Best of luck!
It may make her nervous so if you do, try and keep it small with the really close family members nothing big you don’t want to startle her.
maybe a small get together with relatives and her friends but nothing too big because that might shock her. remember that seniors with Alzheimer’s resemble young children that get frightened easily, confused or shocked in large groups.
She’ll probably enjoy the company. I agree that you should consult her caregivers. It’s probably best to keep it small and chatty. Often oldies like to observe everyone being happy around them, more than they like to participate.
She may find it overwhelmning if she’s not able to recognise anybody.
If she likes company then you do it, but make sure the numbers are small and it’s not too noisy.
You can do a very small one. At lease you would be with her… who know she may remember that too. You never know about that..That would be so sweet to be with your grandmother for her birthday…..Have a safe new Years…..live, laugh, love…~~Di~~
I believe it will confuse and agitate her more. If you do this, it should be only the closest family and be prepared that she won’t handle any excitement well.
My grandma has alzheimers, and we once had a lot of people over for her birthday and it did not work out. She didn’t recognize people and wasn’t very happy or excited. I would suggest you only have really close family members come, if you were going to give her a party.
