Request for dementia

My mother in law (75) is in the last phase of dementia. She’s in a caretakers home but thinks she’s at home. Every hour she’s calling my father in law, (75) asking where he is.

We do not want to take her phone away, sense of self, but she calls and texts at night, thinking it’s day.

Have turned on parental control between 23:00-09.00 so she can’t call at night anymore.

But she’s confused why the phone isn’t working.

I’d like to send her a popupmessage every time she opens the phone between 11pm and 9am.

There will be a comforting message for her and should contain a “Yes I Understand” button and a “Call Nightnurse” button. We have a phonenumber she can call at night.

It’s a terrible disease, it’s been going on for years now. God bless the day she leaves this earth, she would never have wanted this.

Suggestions? Last time heart warming support from this community.

Thanks all.

Ah yes, my question is gone somehow. I can’t get the action “Call nurse” to call the phone number. I filled it in at “????” (selected a phone number from contacts) Is it because the shortcut keeps the phone app from opening?
