I know this topic gets brought up from time to time.  I just found out
my Mom's last score on the MM was 26 and that is within the normal
range, but she seems pretty debiliated to me and I can't imagine her
doing ok left to her own devices.  Now it makes me rethink memory care.
As I've said before she has many more skills than most of the other
residents, no wonder she hates it there.  But she got lost 3 times from
assisted living and there have been two times this winter when it was
such a relief to have her in memory care, where she could be cared for
properly.  Once when she had a sinus infection and really went
downhill, and just recently when she had her stroke.

Anyone have a LO with a high MM score that didn't seem to reflect the
level of disability?  I do think my mother has memorized how to spell
"world" backwards, because the first time she took the MM and missed
that question she was really upset and practiced it in her head over
and over.  

Her doctor diagnosed ALZ when her MM was 29/30.
