PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

Helpful Hints

I purchased a "Day-At-A-Glance" calendar for Gregory. He has lost track of time, of the day, of the month, maybe of the year. But he still can follow habits and one of them is ripping off a sheet from the calendar each morning. Sometimes during the day he will ask me the date or the day. I will respond, "What does your calendar say?" He will go look and answer his own question. In the beginning he got a little confused on Saturdays and Sundays because on the "Day-At-A-Glance" those two days share a sheet. I labeled those sheets more obviously and he seemed to learn the difference.
