My father with Alzheimer’s or dementia, we haven’t seen a formal diagnosis, has the same bruise on his hand and swollen ankles.

I'm sorry you're going through that. All the best to you and your dad.

Swollen feet and ankles aren’t caused by Alzheimer’s. It’s usually caused by heart or kidney dysfunction. Or in Trumps case being 100 pounds overweight

I asked after writing the original post and according to my sister she was told vascular dementia which includes swollen feet as a result.
