In addition to the other advice, I would recommend you speak with the doctor of the person with dementia.

I recommend 2 books. Understanding the Dementia Experience by Jennifer Ghent-Fuller available on Amazon. And The 36 Hour Day which is more of a reference book to use when you have a question about a behavior.

Best of luck to you.

Cece55, I found there is a lot of excellent information in articles presented by AgingCare. Go to the top of the page and click on RESOURCES... now click on "Caregiving Topics". Now you will see store house of articles.


One thing I found on my own with my Dad when he started to show signs of dementia, that any note I had left him as a reminder needs to moved to a new location every few days. If the note is left in the same location for a length of time, the mind will eventually no longer see it.... that happens to anyone with or without dementia.
