Beating the Odds: Support for Persons with Early Stage Dementia
As our population ages, so does the incidence of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. In this concise article, the author shares practical tips for persons who are grappling with the early stages of this spectrum of disorders.
Gleaned from her many years as a Registered Nurse working primarily with the elderly, Ms. Slotto writes from a more personal experience. As her own mother faced early stages of dementia, the two devised practical steps to help her remain independent for as long as possible, in a safe environment. The author offers memory prompts, health care considerations, ideas to help one find meaning in life, suggestions for preparing for the future and more.
Though addressed to the person facing loss of memory, this article will be of immense value to family members and loved ones.
